Population centres
editIt is located in south-central Auckland, along the thinnest section of the Auckland isthmus.[1] 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
editPanmure-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.[2]
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.[3] Initially it was proposed to keep the name of Manukau East, but the name of Panmure-Ōtāhuhu was adopted after a public consultation period.[4]
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.[5]
