Te Tai Hauāuru was created ahead of the first MMP election in

South Waikato before heading south through the King Country towns of Te Kūiti and Taumarunui to include all of the Taranaki region and all towns in the Manawatū-Whanganui region west of the Manawatū Gorge. Its southern terminus is in Wellington at Tawa. The main population centres are Tokoroa, New Plymouth, Whanganui, Palmerston North and Porirua. It is also home of the politically influential Rātana
movement.

In the 2007 boundary redistribution, the area covered by the Ngāti Maniapoto tribe was transferred from the Tainui electorate to Te Tai Hauāuru.[1] The boundaries were not further altered in the 2013/14 redistribution.[2]

History

The seat includes the

Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi, Ngāti Apa, Ngāti Hauiti, Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga, Ngāti Kauwhata, Rangitāne, Muaūpoko, Ngāti Toa, Ngāti Maniapoto and Ngāti Huia tribal areas (rohe).[3]

Te Tai Hauāuru was first used at the 1996 election and contained all area from South Auckland to just south of Te Kūiti. It was the growth of the Māori population leading to the creation first of Tāmaki Makaurau in 1999 and Tainui in 2002 that has pulled Ta Tai Hauāuru so far south that the only remaining part of the 1996 seat is its name.

Te Tai Hauāuru was won by

Māori Party. She won 92.7 percent of the vote in a contest that Labour refused to participate in. In 2005, Turia was re-elected with nearly double the votes of her Labour rival, Errol Mason. In common with most of the Māori seats, Labour took a majority of the party vote. The results in 2008 were similar. Turia confirmed in November 2013 that she would retire at the 2014 election.[4] She was succeeded by Adrian Rurawhe of the Labour Party, who defeated Chris McKenzie of the Māori Party.[5]

The electorate became important for the Māori party again in 2020, as it was broadly considered the party's best chance at winning an electorate and returning to parliament. However, a poll released a few weeks before the election suggested that Labour's incumbent had a substantial lead over the Māori Party candidate, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer.[6]
