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:

Greens

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

Labour

  • Helen Clark (left 2009)
  • Michael Cullen (left 2009)
  • (left 2010
  • Darren Hughes (left 2011)
  • George Hawkins
  • Pete Hodgson
  • Lynne Pillay
  • Mita Ririnui

National

Progressive

  • Jim Anderton

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.
