After a “heartbreaking” defeat in 2023 by 42 votes, Labour MP Peeni Henare is ready to contest the Auckland Māori seat of Tāmaki Makaurau again.
Labour MP Peeni Henare is eyeing up a win in the upcoming Tāmaki Makaurau byelection – but first, whisky and fried doughnuts.
For Labour’s Peeni Henare, it would be a redemptive tale - as well as a chance to get Labour back on track for the 2026 election.
If Tāmaki Makaurau flips Labour in the upcoming by-election, Georgie Dansey, next on Labour’s party list, would enter Parliament as the party’s new wahine Māori MP.
Labour’s Peeni Henare is confident his previous stint as the MP for Tāmaki Makaurau will stand him in good stead with voters.
