The Patea by-election was a by-election in the New Zealand electorate of Patea, a rural seat on the west coast of the North Island.

Background

The by-election was held on 13 April 1921, and was precipitated by the resignation of sitting Reform member of parliament, Walter Powdrell. The Reform Party chose Edwin Dixon, the Mayor of Hawera, as their official candidate, and apparently Clutha Mackenzie was their second preference. Earlier, Thomas William McDonald announced his intention to stand for the Reform Party, however left without contesting the by-election.[1][2]

Labour candidate Lew McIlvride polled a small vote compared to Dixon and Morrison, however he was the only one of the three candidates who increased the vote for his party compared with Шаблон:NZ election link year and was rewarded with contesting a winnable seat in Шаблон:NZ election link year in Napier, which he won.[3]
