Panmure-Ōtāhuhu runs from Point Engliand and Tāmaki in the north to Ōtara and Papatoetoe in the south, and includes Panmure, Westfield and Ōtāhuhu. The seat is currently held by Labour's Jenny Salesa, who won safely with a margin of 18,626. In 2020, Labour won the greatest share of party votes in Panmure-Ōtāhuhu – 73% to National's 13%. The electorate was created in the 2019/2020 electorate redistribution, from an area previously covered by Manukau East electorate, which was a safe Labour seat since its creation in 1996.

New Zealand is going in the wrong direction under Labour. The government has got its values wrong with excessive borrowing, taxing and spending, a lack of consequences for criminals and dividing New Zealanders by race. I'm standing with ACT because it's the only party offering New Zealand real change in these areas. ACT will get government spending under control, get tougher and smarter on crime and unite kiwis behind their common humanity.
