Party vote distribution

Māngere (spelledMangere before 1997) is a New Zealand parliamentaryelectorate, returning one member of parliament to theRepresentatives of New Zealand. The current MP for Māngere isLemauga Lydia Sosene of theLabour Party. She has held this electorate since2023.^[2]

Through an amendment in the Electoral Act in 1965, the number of electorates in theSouth Island was fixed at 25, an increase of one since the 1962 electoral redistribution.^[3] It was accepted that through the more rapid population growth in theNorth Island, the number of its electorates would continue to increase, and to keep proportionality, three new electorates were allowed for in the 1967 electoral redistribution for the next election.^[4] In the North Island, five electorates were newly created (including Mangere) and one electorate was reconstituted while three electorates were abolished.^[5] In the South Island, three electorates were newly created and one electorate was reconstituted while three electorates were abolished.^[6] The overall effect of the required changes was highly disruptive to existing electorates, with all but three electorates having their boundaries altered.^[7] These changes came into effect with the1969 election.^[4]

Māngere is based around theSouth Auckland suburbs ofMāngere,Māngere Bridge,Favona andMāngere East. It has existed as an electorate since 1969; its boundaries were extended ahead of the introduction ofmixed-member proportional (MMP) voting in1996, swallowing up a section of the formerPapatoetoe electorate.

In the 2007 boundary redistribution,Papatoetoe andMiddlemore were transferred to theManukau East electorate.^[8] The 2013/14 and 2020 redistributions did not change the boundaries further.^[9] The 2025 boundary review moved an area inPapatoetoe betweenState Highway 1 and theNorth Island Main Trunk fromManurewa while transferring back an area inWiri.^[10]

Māngere, and all of South Auckland, forms the safest part of the Labour Party's core vote. Even during landslide elections in theNational Party's favour, such as in1975 and1990, no Labour candidate for Māngere was seriously troubled.

Māngere was first represented byColin Moyle of the Labour Party in1969. Moyle represented the electorate until his resignation in 1977 over what became known as the 'Moyle Affair', and asubsequent by-election was won by a young barrister namedDavid Lange, who would become Prime Minister after Labour's1984 election victory. Lange retired in 1996 and the nomination was handed to Taito Phillip Field, at the time the MP forOtara. Field was returned with a high share of the vote in subsequent elections, but following his expulsion from the Labour caucus in 2007, his former party nominated formerManukau City deputy mayorWilliam Sio in his place, who won the seat with a majority of over 7,000 votes in the2008 election.^[11] In the2011 and2014 elections, Sio's majority was circa 15,000 votes.^[12][13]

Unless otherwise stated, all MPs terms began and started at general elections.
