Tauranga by-election 1923

Tauranga by-election 1923

The Tauranga by-election of 1923 was a by-election during the 21st New Zealand Parliament. The seat became vacant due to the death of the sitting Member, William Herbert Herries. The election was held on 28 March 1923.

Two candidates contested the seat. The other candidate was Sir Joseph Ward, a former Liberal Prime Minister, thought to be a spent force. But Ward returned to Parliament in 1925, and became Prime Minister again in 1928. He retired in 1930, and died soon after.
