Keshaan Te Waaka

Dream Big

My principal place of residence is in the Tararua District Council area.

Kia ora, Ko Keshaan Te Waaka tōku ingoa. I’m of Te Ati Haunui-ā-Paparangi, Ngāti Hine and Ngāti Porou descent, but was raised in Woodville where I have developed a strong sense of pride in our community.

I am deeply passionate about all things Māori and have found my purpose in serving our many marae across the region and being part of various projects, building connections and supporting our people, from tamariki right through to kaumātua.

I am future focused and want to stand for council to ensure your voices are heard and that we are working to better Tararua for us all.

I am committed to uplifting and empowering our people and seeing us all thrive and with your support, I know; together we can.
