Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio Final Results 2009
Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio TRoNT Representative
Makaawhio Appointment Committee members are pleased to announce the reappointment of Tim Rochford as the Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio representative to Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. His selection was made based on the outcome of candidate interviews and the recently completed Indicative Vote process.
Interviews were carried out on 27/28th Wha (August) 2009, with candidates asked to answer a series of questions and rated (0-5) on their responses (8) and presentation (5) to provide their interview score. Candidates interviewed well with only a 0.2 point difference between the first ranked candidate and the second!
Result (Rank):
- Tim Rochford (1)
- Sandi Hinerangi Barr (2)
- Tremane Barr (3)
These results were held in a safe until appointment committee members met following the closing of the Indicative Vote Ballot process on 11 September 2009. A total of 1204 ballots were issued, with 285 (or 23.7%) members returning voting papers.
Result (No.Votes):
- Tim Rochford (130)
- Sandi Hinerangi Barr (106)
- Tremane Barr (47)
- Informal (2)
Based on the results of the Interview and Indicative Vote processes, Tim Rochford was accordingly reappointed as the Makaawhio Representative to Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.
The committee wish to thank the three candidates for their participation in the selection process and to congratulate Tim on his selection.
Unfortunately, we have been unable to appoint an Alternate Representative due to a lack of applicants. We will be calling for applications for the position shortly.

Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga executive acknowledged that waiting for the Whakapapa Unit to provide an updated list of 1848 Kaumātua in accordance with clause 5 (a) of the current constitution (their membership clause) would have resulted in a significant delay to the election process. It therefore accepted the existing 1848 Kaumātua list for this election, on 18 May 2009.
However, to ensure that all eligible members of Ngāi Tūāhuriri had a reasonable opportunity to take part in the postal voting process the executive sought registrations from all potential members of Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga for inclusion on the electoral roll and put in place a system which allowed for special votes. Over 500 persons registered with the runanga by the due date and over 100 special votes were issued.
