The Prime Minister's surprised Labour lost in the Tamaki Makaurau by-election. 

Te Pati Maori's Oriini Kaipara won the seat over Peeni Henare by three thousand votes. 

The by-election was triggered by the death of MP Takutai Tarsh Kemp.

Total turnout was around 27.1 percent. 

Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking he thought Labour would trounce Te Pati Maori, as they've had no policies and have only been criticising.

Luxon says he also felt bad for Peeni Henare with Chris Hipkins not showing up to the party.
