Howick (New Zealand electorate)

In 1995, Rogers defected from National to the Right of Centre party.

Based on the 1991 New Zealand census, an electoral redistribution was carried out.

[1][2] This suburban electorate was in the southern part of greater Auckland.

The Otara electorate was usually won by Labour, but in the 1990 election when Labour lost a number of electorates, Trevor Rogers of National beat Taito Phillip Field the new Labour candidate for Otara to replace Colin Moyle (who was retiring).

In the 1993 election, Trevor Rogers moved east to the new Howick electorate, which covered higher-income suburbs traditionally National.
