History

The Western Māori electorate extended from South Auckland and the Waikato to Taranaki and the Manawatu. The seat originally went to Wellington. With MMP it was replaced by the Te Tai Hauauru seat in 1996.

In 1935, Haami Tokouru Ratana the eldest son of the founder of the Ratana Church won the seat and became the second Ratana MP; he became a Labour MP following the Labour-Ratana pact.

In 1996, Koro Wetere who had held the seat since 1969 retired from politics.
