Every party except Labour and the small parties had a pretty good night. The Greens picked up three electorate seats although I suspect they will be disappointed their party vote was not higher. In 2017 Labour and the Greens picked up a seat each after the counting of special votes. In 2020 Labour and Te Pati Maori picked up one seat each after special votes were counted.
