With 91% of the vote counted, National’s Tama Potaka leads nearest rival Georgie Dansey of Labour by nearly 1,900 votes.
I am now projecting Tama Potaka to win Hamilton West by 2,200 votes. More than twice the margin that commentators predicted. A stunning show of the Blue Wave Sweeping Across NZ! #nzpol

As turnout is low for Hamilton West, key thing is to look at the percentage point gap between candidates, not the margin. In 2020 Labour won it by 16%.

Tonight’s result in #HamiltonWest is @nzlabour’s worst result in the history of the seat, which was formed in 1969. Labour’s candidate managed 40% in 1990, and 35% even in 2014 under Cunliffe. #nzpol

Hamilton West is the Nation's Bellweather. We can Scientifically Extrapolate this result to the election in 10 months. Nats+Act = 57%. Lab + Greens = 31%. The Woke Cafe Scene will be Very Grim tomorrow as this sinks in. #nzpol

I wish people would stop acting like national will be any better!
Vote the globalist affiliated parties OUT!
Dont vote at all,votings for suckers
From one globalist to the other…
Yep…..
Agree. They voted labor because they hated national, now they vote national because they hate labor. Bloody short memories.
The quicker Ardern’s govt departs the better.
US elections are fought with dollars (60 to 50 billions). NZ elections will soon see Globalists and Corporate media spending tens of millions for Jabbie. We will witness “opinion polls” that show Jabbie is still in the race and everything is within the margin of error. Lots of voting will take place before the elections and Jabbie will be favoured. WEF Globalists make the decision at the end of the day on who will play the best puppet role in NZ.
In an outcome that probably surprises no one save Labour…..
