Ginny Andersen (left) and Chris Bishop have both held the Hutt South seat before, but in 2026, the stakes have never been higher.
Hutt South is shaping up to be perhaps the most consequential electorate race in the country.
The contest has the potential of seeing National’s high-profile frontbencher Chris Bishop out of Parliament altogether if unsuccessful in retaining the seat against a challenge by Labour’s Ginny Andersen, with meaning it is unlikely to elect any list MPs.
