John Munro (New Zealand politician born 1839)

John Munro (1839 – 23 November 1910) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament from the West Coast, New Zealand.

[1] Munro was an independent Liberal (political parties would only form after the 1890 general election).

He was considered as one of three possible Liberal candidates for the 1879 general election in the Buller electorate, the others being Eugene O'Conor and James Bickerton Fisher.

[2] Fisher was eventually chosen and he beat the incumbent Joseph Henry.

[6][7] Munro served until the end of the term in 1884, when he was defeated by Roderick McKenzie.
