Retiring MPs

A large number of MPs elected in 2008 are retiring at the 2011 election, or have already retired. By party I make it:

ACT

  • David Garrett (left 2010)
  • Rodney Hide
  • Heather Roy
  • Hilary Calvert

Greens

  • Jeanette Fitzsimons (left 2010)
  • Sue Bradford (left 2009)
  • Sue Kedgley
  • Keith Locke

Labour

  • Helen Clark (left 2009)
  • Michael Cullen (left 2009)
  • Winnie Laban (left 2010
  • Darren Hughes (left 2011)
  • Ashraf Choudhary
  • George Hawkins
  • Lynne Pillay
  • Mita Ririnui

  • Richard Worth (left 2009)
  • (left 2011)
  • John Carter (left 2011)
  • Sandra Goudie
  • Simon Power
  • Georgina te Heuheu

So that is 25 MPs elected at 2008 and one MP who came in in 2010, who will not be standing in the 2011 election.

On top of that a number of incumbent MPs may fail to be re-elected, so the turnover may increase even more.
