Big night for our young female candidates

New Zealand's young females were the real winners of the evening, with several candidates from our major and minor parties winning seats.
Te Pāti Māori's Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke, aged 21, became New Zealand's youngest MP in 170 years, unseating Labour's Nanaia Mahuta with more than 1000 votes.
Meanwhile, Green MP Tamatha Paul, 26, won Wellington Central, stepping up above Labour's Ibrahim Omer and National's Scott Sheeran.

With more success for the Greens, Chloe Swarbrick, 29, retained the Auckland Central electorate, making history as the first in her party to ever do so. Green MP Chloe Swarbrick was 23 when she first made it into parliament on the Green list in 2017, and up until now has remained the youngest MP.

For Labour, Arena Williams, born in 1990, roped in the success after managing to retain her Manurewa electorate.
On the other end of the political spectrum, the ACT Party's Brooke van Velden, 31, won her electorate seat in Tamaki, kicking out National MP Simon O'Connor.
