The Ngā Hau e Whā Māori Constituency has been elected unopposed, although voting papers do show two candidate names. The nomination of Maxine Moana-Tuwhangai, who passed away on 16 August, was formally withdrawn after the voting papers had been printed. We extend our aroha and condolences to Maxine’s whānau. Otirā, e te mareikura, moe mai rā.
Every candidate was also invited by Policy NZ to answer provide information about themselves, why they are standing and their priorities to enable voters better understand them.
