The Hui on Friday night hosted its fifth tautohetohe (debate) this election season, and this time was for the Māori seat of Hauraki-Waikato.
Labour's Nanaia Mahuta currently holds the seat, but Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke from Te Pāti Māori wants to snatch it off her.
Mahuta has held the seat since it was established in 2008, but if Maipi-Clarke wins the seat, she would become the youngest MP in the country at age 21.
Hauraki-Waikato includes parts of both Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland and Waikato regions.
One of seven Māori electorates, it includes the main population centres of:
- Pukekohe
- Papakura
- Te Kauwhata
- Huntly / Rāhui Pōkeka
- Ngāruawāhia
- Hamilton / Kirikiriroa
- Cambridge / Kemureti
- Te Awamutu
- Raglan / Whāingaroa
- Kāwhia
- Matamata
- Morrinsville / Mōrena
- Te Aroha
- Paeroa
- Whangamatā
- Thames / Pārāwai
- Whitianga
- Paeroa
- Waihi Beach
Half of all Māori in the electorate (49.8 percent) were aged under 25 in 2018.
Made with support from Te Mangai Pahō and New Zealand on Air.
