Welcome
After gaining a majority of 5,231 in the 2011 General Election, I’m excited to have the chance to continue working hard for the Kapiti and Horowhenua region.
“The Otaki electorate stretches from Paraparaumu in the South, including Waikanae, Otaki, Levin, Foxton and Shannon, stretching up to Opiki and Tokomaru.
“We are lucky to enjoy one of the best lifestyles in New Zealand here with the ocean, the outdoors, and our vibrant communities.
“I’m also proud to be a Cabinet Minister in John Key’s Government. I have a busy workload as Minister of Immigration, Minister for Racing and Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, and Associate Minister for Primary Industries.

Hon Nathan Guy MP for Otaki
