The 2023 result
In 2023, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer (Te Pāti Māori) won Te Tai Hauāuru by 9,162 votes over Soraya Peke-Mason (Labour). The candidate vote split Te Pāti Māori 63.8% to Labour 27.9%, a margin of 35.9 points.
The 2023 winner, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, is standing again.
On the party vote, Labour led with 41.3%, ahead of Te Pāti Māori on 36.2%. That's a split: voters gave the seat to Te Pāti Māori but more of their party votes to Labour, so the local candidate's own pull matters.
What it would take to change hands
Labour would need a swing of about 18.0 points from Te Pāti Māori to take it: each point that moves from one to the other closes the gap by two.
Māori electorates often move differently from the national party vote, so the calculator keeps them with their 2023 party unless you choose otherwise.
