History
The electorate was established in the 1993 election, and included the eastern part of the previous Otara electorate. The Otara electorate was usually won by Labour, but in the 1990 election when Labour lost a number of electorates, Trevor Rogers of National beat Taito Phillip Field the new Labour candidate for Otara to replace Colin Moyle (who was retiring). In the 1993 election, Trevor Rogers moved east to the new Howick electorate, which covered higher-income suburbs traditionally National.[3] In 1995, Rogers defected to the Right of Centre party.[4]
The Howick electorate was abolished in the 1996 election, the first mixed-member (MMP) election, when it was absorbed into the Manukau East electorate.
