John Andrew MacPherson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Andrew MacPherson (1856 - 1944) was a New Zealand politician of the Liberal Party.

He represented the Mount Ida seat from 1905 to 1908, when he was defeated (though in 1908 he was standing for the replacement seat of Tuapeka).

In 1922 he won the Oamaru seat from Ernest Lee. The election was declared void, and MacPherson won the subsequent by-election.

Lee won the seat back from MacPherson in the 1925 general election, but again lost it to MacPherson in the 1928 general election. MacPherson then held it to 1935, when he was defeated.
