The seat was vacated after the resignation of David Shearer, a former Leader of the New Zealand Labour Party.[1][2]
No all right and centre-right parties ran, and turnout was low. The electorate was won by Labour Party list MP Jacinda Ardern by a large margin. Another Labour member, Raymond Huo, filled Ardern's list seat.
