The electorate was recreated in 1963 for the 34th Parliament.[1] In 1996 with MMP, the electorate was replaced by the new Mana electorate. The holder of Porirua, Graham Kelly chose to become a list MP.
From 1963 to 1996, the electorate was held by three Labour Party representatives: Henry May,[3] Gerard Wall, and Graham Kelly.
