Te Pāti Māori's had a good election, with Rawiri Waititi holding Waiariki and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer taking Te Tai Hauāuru.
21-year-old Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke has unseated senior Labour Minister Nanaia Mahuta in Hauraki-Waikato, and Takuta Ferris has taken Te Tai Tonga.

Labour Māori Caucus leader, Willie Jackson, told Newstalk ZB's Election Special that it's a hard day for the Labour team, particularly for Mahuta.
