Waitakere (electorate)

Waitakere will be a future parliamentary electorate in the 2026 New Zealand general election returning one Member of Parliament to the New Zealand House of Representatives. The electorate was first formed for the 1946 election and existed until 2014, with breaks from 1969 to 1978 and from 1987 to 1993. In March 2025 a proposal to recontest the electorate was created by the Electoral Commission for the 2025 Boundary Review. The last MP for Waitakere was Paula Bennett of the National Party, who had held this position since the 2008 election.
