Maungakiekie is a Parliamentary electorate in Auckland, New Zealand.
The main suburbs which lie in this electorate are Ellerslie, Mt Wellington, Otahuhu, Te Papapa, Onehunga, Oranga and One Tree Hill (where it receives its name from).
[edit] History
The electorate was formed in 1995 from the redrawing of the boundaries of the old seats of Panmure and Onehunga, formerly held by Judith Tizard and Richard Northey (both Labour) respectively. It was held therefore to be a fairly safe Labour seat, however Election night 1996 produced a remarkable result, the seat had swung to favour National in electing Belinda Vernon.
