On election night, Cheung won the electorate with an 1,564-vote lead over incumbent Michael Wood. Mount Roskill had been regarded as a safe seat for Labour, with Wood holding a majority of 14,000 votes in the 2020 election, leading to Cheung's win being called "one of the stand out upsets of the election". Cheung is the second Chinese-born MP to hold an electorate seat in New Zealand, the first being Pansy Wong.
