Dunedin Central by-election 1915

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dunedin Central by-election of 1915 was a by-election during the 19th New Zealand Parliament. The by-election was sparked by the resignation of the incumbent, Charles Statham, after irregularities in the counting of the vote during the 1914 election turned a 12-vote lead for his competitor James Munro into a 12-vote loss. There were only two nominees:

Name Party Votes Percentage
Charles Statham Reform Party 4,033 50.7%
James Wright Munro United Labour Party (?) 3,926 49.3%
