Population centres
editThe Kaikōura electorate covers the north-eastern South Island, from Cook Strait in the north to the Ashley River / Rakahuri in the south. At over 21,000 km2 (8,100 sq mi), it is New Zealand's fourth-largest general electorate by area. Its biggest town is Blenheim; other towns include Amberley, Ashley, Cheviot, Culverden, Hanmer Springs, Havelock, Kaikōura and Picton.[1] The electorate boundaries were not changed in either the 2007 or 2013/14 boundary reviews.[2][3]
History
editKaikōura is one of the original 60 electorates drawn ahead of the change to Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting in 1996. It was made up by merging all of the old Marlborough seat with a large portion of Rangiora. Like the two electorates it replaced, Kaikōura is a safe seat for the National Party, returning a National MP at every election since it was created.
The first representative in 1996 was Doug Kidd, who was previously the MP for Marlborough. He retired at the end of the parliamentary term and was succeeded by Lynda Scott in the 1999 election. Scott served for two parliamentary terms before retiring from politics and returning to the medical profession in 2005.[4]
The 2005 election was won by Colin King, who served for three parliamentary terms.[5] In December 2013, King was deselected as National's candidate for Kaikoura, losing a selection challenge by Stuart Smith,[6] who won the general election in September 2014 with a preliminary majority of 11,510 votes.[7] Based on preliminary election results, Steffan Browning of the Green Party who became a list MP in 2011, was the highest ranked Green candidate who was not returned to parliament.[8][9] When final results were released, the Green Party had gained an additional seat, and Browning was confirmed as a list MP.[10]
