Maungakiekie is a New Zealand parliamentaryelectorate, returning one Member of Parliament to theNew Zealand House of Representatives. The current MP for Maungakiekie isGreg Fleming of theNational Party. The electorate's name comes fromMaungakiekie / One Tree Hill, a large and symbolically important hill at the western end of the seat.
The core of Maungakiekie is the suburbs ofAuckland clustered around theSouthern Motorway, and the most southern parts of theAuckland isthmus facing theManukau Harbour. These include the suburbs ofOne Tree Hill,Greenlane,Ellerslie,Mount Wellington,Penrose,Southdown,Te Papapa,Onehunga andRoyal Oak. In 2020, the seat lost Panmure toPanmure-Ōtāhuhu and gained Royal Oak fromMount Roskill.[2] In the 2025 boundary review, the electorate would gainTāmaki,Panmure andWestfield fromPanmure-Ōtāhuhu. The initial proposal would have seen the suburb ofGreenlane transferred toEpsom, however this did not occur after public consultation.[3]
In character, the seat is aminority-majority seat, with a largeMāori,Pasifika andAsian population. It is also quite a young seat, with 46.8 percent of the seat's residents under the age of thirty.[4]
Maungakiekie has existed in various forms since its creation ahead of the introduction ofMixed Member Proportional voting in the1996 election. It was created from merging most ofOnehunga with a large section ofPanmure, both of them reasonably safe Labour seats. Its original incarnation included bothOnehunga andOtahuhu, though for the nine years from1996, Onehunga was part ofMount Roskill, and from 2008 onwards, Otahuhu formed the northernmost part ofManukau East. The same boundary changes that took Otahuhu out put Panmure in at the expense ofTāmaki.
Because of these seats' tendency to vote Labour, it was initially thought to be a safe Labour seat. The last MP for Onehunga,Richard Northey, sought election in the new seat. However, Labour suffered its worst result since World War II in 1996, with votes splintering off to both theAlliance andNew Zealand First. As a result, Northey found himself ousted from Parliament in 1996 at the hands of then unknownNational Party candidateBelinda Vernon. Vernon's own party suffered a dramatic reversal of fortune that started at the1999 election and her three-year term as MP for Maungakiekie ended in favour ofMark Gosche, who held the seat until2008, notching up a majority of around 6,500 in the intermediate elections.[5]
Sam Lotu-liga captured the seat again for National in the large swing against Labour in 2008. On 13 December 2016, Lotu-liga announced that he was quitting politics, to take effect at the2017 general election.[6] The electorate was won byDenise Lee at the election, retaining the seat for the National Party.
Unless otherwise stated, all MPs' terms began and ended at general elections.
