The Division of Panas is a Craftian federal division in the Bankera Capital Territory. It was created in 2049 and was first contested at the federal election later that year. It is named after Ian Panas, the first Chief Minister of the Bankera Capital Territory, and covers the inner western suburbs of the city of Bankera. It is one of the two divisions covering the Bankera central business district, the other being the Division of Bankera.
The sitting member, since the 2068 by-election, is Hermes Takahashi, a member of the National United Party.
==History==
Panas straddles the boundary between the working class suburbs of the west and the cosmopolitan Bankera CBD. As such, the Craftian Conservative Party struggles in inner metropolitan Bankera, and the two-party matchup in Panas has always been between United and the Liberal Party of Craftia. The seat has always been held by United, and is fairly safe for that party, although it was more marginal in the 2050s when Liberal-voting areas from the CBD were redistributed into the seat. Its most prominent members include Con Wang, leader of the United Party from 2051 to 2058.
