Henare Kaihau (1854/1860? – 20 May 1920) was a New Zealand Māori politician, serving as Member of the House of Representatives for the Western Maori electorate.
His birth year is uncertain. The Dictionary of New Zealand Biography gives a range from 1854 to 1860,[1] whereas Wilson gives 1855.[2]
He unsuccessfully contested the Western Maori electorate in the Template:NZ election link. Of eight candidates, he came fifth with 9.7% of the vote.[3] In the Template:By-election link, he came third out of five candidates.[4][5] In the 1896 election, he defeated Ropata Te Ao,[6] and he held the Western Maori electorate to 1911 when he was defeated by Māui Pōmare.[2]
Wilson notes him as a Reform Party supporter.[2] Kaihau does, however, appear on a poster of the Liberal Party in 1910.[7] The New Zealand Herald, in its Template:NZ election link reporting, also lists him as a government supporter, i.e. a Liberal.[8] Those newspapers that listed political affiliation for Maori candidates for the Template:NZ election link, The Star (Christchurch) and The Tuapeka Times, also show him as a supporter of the Ward Ministry.[9][10]
