Okey contested the Taranaki electorate at the 1905 general election, coming second, 236 votes behind the incumbent, Edward Smith.[5] However, Smith died in 1907 and Okey won the subsequent by-election as an independent. He gave sympathy and support to the Reform Party, and later formally became a Reform MP. Okey held the Taranaki seat until his death in 1918.[6]
Death
Okey died in New Plymouth on 13 September 1918,[1] and was buried in Te Henui Cemetery.[7]
