Malcolm Campbell and Doug Leeder have been voted in for Eastern Bay of Plenty, Kevin Winters and Lyall Thurston for Rotorua, Matemoana McDonald for Māuao Māori Constituency, and Jane Nees and Ken Shirley for Western Bay of Plenty.

Guess where the least number of votes were cast.... A forewarning of things to come...? We have Maori Mayors around the country (unfortunately one is a Green Party worker) So who says that quality doesn't come to the surface and need a backdoor. Unfortunately we have 22 candidates for whom a seat at the table isn't available, no matter how many votes they can amass
