Hauiti to stand in Kelston
National List MP Claudette Hauiti has been named as National’s candidate for Kelston.
The newly-created seat in west Auckland is likely to be won by Labour’s Carmel Sepuloni.
National’s northern regional chair Andrew Hunt says the party is determined to run a strong campaign.
Ms Hauiti contested Mangere in 2011, and entered parliament last year on the list.
She has Ngati Porou, Te Whanau-a-Apanui, Ngapuhi Ngati Kuta and Ngati Ruanui whakapapa.
The former television producer lives in Auckland with her partner Nadine Mau and their three children.
