History
Te Puku O Te Whenua, or the belly of the land, was one of the five new Māori seats created for the 1996 election with the introduction of mixed-member proportional (MMP) representation, and which were all won by the Tight Five of the New Zealand First from Labour. The 1996 election was won by Rana Waitai.[1]
In the 1999 election it was substantially replaced by Ikaroa-Rāwhiti.
