Panmure-Ōtāhuhu is an electorate to the New Zealand House of Representatives in south-central Auckland. It was first contested at the 2020 election, and has been held by Jenny Salesa of the Labour Party since its inception.
Population centres
It is located in south-central Auckland, along the thinnest section of the Auckland isthmus. The electorate consists of the mid-eastern part of the Manukau ward, and a long strip of suburbs along the west bank of the Tāmaki River.
History
Panmure-Ōtāhuhu was created in the 2019/20 redistribution, mostly from the former Manukau East, but now including a large portion of the eastern part of the Maungakiekie electorate.
Rapid population growth north of Auckland resulted in a domino effect through Auckland, and in becoming Panmure-Ōtāhuhu, Manukau East was moved northward, losing a triangular area around Puhinui to Manurewa and being extended north to Point England. Initially it was proposed to keep the name of Manukau East, but the name of Panmure-Ōtāhuhu was adopted after a public consultation period.
Manukau East was, since its creation in 1996, a safe Labour seat, held since 2014 by Jenny Salesa. When Salesa contested the new electorate in the 2020 election she won again, holding the seat for Labour.
