Electoral district in New Zealand
Napier is a New Zealand parliamentaryelectorate , returning one Member of Parliament to theHouse of Representatives . It is named after the city ofNapier , the main urban area within the electorate. The electorate was established for the1861 election and has existed since. It has been held byKatie Nimon of theNew Zealand National Party since the2023 general election . It was held byStuart Nash of theNew Zealand Labour Party from the2014 general election until 2023, when he did not stand for re-election.
The electorate includes the following population centres:
The electorate was created in 1861, and preceded by theWairarapa and Hawke's Bay electorate from 1853 to 1860 and then briefly theCounty of Hawke electorate in 1860. It was a two-member electorate from 1876 to 1881.[ 2]
The first representative wasHenry Powning Stark , who won the election on 19 February 1861.[ 3]
There were speculations thatDouglas Maclean would be the conservative candidate in the Napier electorate in the1890 election upon his return from England instead ofGeorge Swan , but this was not correct.[ 4] Swan contested the election and was successful against theLiberal Party candidate Michael Gannon.[ 5] [ 6] In the1893 election , Swan was challenged by the Liberal Party candidateSamuel Carnell , with the latter being successful against the incumbent.[ 7] [ 8] In the1896 election , Carnell in turn was challenged by the conservative candidate Douglas Maclean, with Maclean achieving a large majority against the incumbent.[ 9] [ 10]
In the1931 election , the incumbent,Bill Barnard of theLabour Party , was challenged by John Butler of theReform Party as the official candidate of theUnited–Reform Coalition , andUnited Party memberVigor Brown as an Independent. Brown, at the timeMayor of Napier and previously MP for Napier for many years, withdrew just before the election, but too late for his name to be excluded from the ballot papers.[ 11] The election was won by Barnard.[ 12]
Labour'sRussell Fairbrother was first elected in the electorate in the2002 election , replacing long-standing MPGeoff Braybrooke . In the2005 election ,Chris Tremain defeated Fairbrother, winning the electorate for theNational Party for the first time since the1951 election .[ 13] In the2008 election , Tremain retained the electorate with an increased majority over Fairbrother.[ 14] In the2011 election , Tremain beat Labour'sStuart Nash .[ 15]
Tremain announced in September 2013 that he would not contest the 2014 election.[ 16] Wayne Walford succeeded Tremain as National's candidate for the seat,[ 17] Nash contested the electorate for the Labour Party for the second time, andGarth McVicar stood for theConservative Party . McVicar had a high-profile due to his previous involvement with theSensible Sentencing Trust lobby group. In July 2014, Walford was referred to Police by theElectoral Commission for breaching the Electoral Act by failing to display an authorisation statement on his campaign vehicle.[ 18]
Nash had a majority of 3,850 votes over Walford.[ 19] McVicar's 7,603 votessplit the traditional National Party votes (24.8% of electors who gave their party vote to National gave their electorate vote to McVicar, a total of 4,465 votes),[ 20] which helped Nash win the election.[ 19] [ 21] [ 22]
In the 2025 boundary review, the electorate would gain the communities north of theNgaruroro River fromTukituki for the2026 general election onwards.[ 23]
