Eden by-election 1926

Eden by-election 1926

The Eden by-election of 1926 was a by-election during the 22nd New Zealand Parliament. The seat became vacant after the appointment of the sitting member, Christopher Parr of the Reform Party as High Commissioner to London. Parr resigned on 26 March.

The by-election was held on 15 April 1926. Three candidates contested the seat. The Reform Party vote was split, as Ellen Melville who had not been selected as the official candidate (probably because of the party organiser Albert Davy), stood as "Independent Reform".

So Rex Mason (Labour) won the byelection.

Harry Holland became Leader of the Opposition on 16 June 1926, as a result of the Eden by-election. Labour was now the second largest party in Parliament
