Delight for National's latest MP as he paints Hamilton West blue.

Tama Potaka came out on top in the by-election triggered by Guarav Sharma's resignation.

Potaka won 46 percent of the vote, beating Labour's Georgie Dansey by 16 percent.

Sharma came a distant fourth with less than ten percent of the vote.

He told Tim Dower that his win represents the frustration the electorate has around crime.

Potaka says many are scared for their businesses and in their own homes.
