Otahuhu by-election, 1963
The Otahuhu by-election 1963 was a by-election held in the Otahuhu electorate in Auckland during the term of the 33rd New Zealand Parliament, on 16 March 1963.
The by-election was caused by the death of incumbent MP James Deas of the Labour Party on 27 January 1963.[1] The by-election was won by Bob Tizard, also of the Labour Party.[2] As the electorate was to be abolished and replaced by the Pakuranga electorate at the 1963 election election, Tizard represented it from 16 March to 29 October only.[2]
