The 2023 result
In 2023, Catherine Wedd (National) won Tukituki by 10,118 votes over Anna Lorck (Labour). The candidate vote split National 54.2% to Labour 29.2%, a margin of 24.9 points. Its boundaries have changed for 2026, so the 2026 seat isn't exactly the same area that voted in 2023.
The 2023 winner, Catherine Wedd, is standing again.
On the party vote, National led with 41.5%, ahead of Labour on 25.5%.
What it would take to change hands
On the 2026 boundaries, the 2023 votes would put National 23.5 points ahead of Labour (an estimate by The Tally Room). Labour would need a swing of about 11.8 points from National to take it: each point that moves from one to the other closes the gap by two.
Since 2023, the current poll average has Labour up 1.0 points on the party vote and National down 10.0. If three-quarters of that change carried through to the candidate vote here (the calculator's default), National would hold it by about 15.3 points.
