Its current MP is Simeon Brown who has held the electorate since the 2017 general election.

[2] Pakuranga was first contested at the 1963 election, and won by future Labour Party frontbencher Bob Tizard.

It was captured by National in 1972, and has stayed with National since, save for a brief interlude – the New Zealand Party's presence on the ballot paper in 1984 split the centre-right vote and handed the seat to Social Credit's Neil Morrison.

Its boundaries have remained largely unchanged since; an attempt in 2007 to resurrect a seat around Howick by pulling the Pakuranga boundaries across the Tamaki River and adding Panmure, Point England and Glen Innes from Auckland City was abandoned in the face of strenuous local objection.

Pakuranga is considered a safe National seat, with Maurice Williamson being easily re-elected at every election to 2014 after ousting Morrison in 1987.

[3] In the 2014 election, Williamson had a majority of 12,867 votes over his nearest challenger, Barry Kirker of the Labour Party.

[4] Williamson announced in July 2016 that he would not stand for Parliament at the 2017 general election[5] and the seat was won by Simeon Brown, retaining it for the National Party.
