'''Luis Sáenz Peña Dávila''' ([[April 2]], [[1822]], [[Buenos Aires]] - [[December 4]], [[1907]]) was a lawyer and [[President of Argentina]].
Northcote is based around the suburbs of [[North Shore City]] at the northern end of the [[Auckland Harbour Bridge]]. Besides the eponymous [[Northcote, New Zealand|Northcote]], there is [[Birkenhead, New Zealand|Birkenhead]], [[Birkdale, New Zealand|Birkdale]] and the southern end of [[Glenfield, New Zealand|Glenfield]]. It was created ahead of the change to [[Mixed Member Proportional]] voting in [[New Zealand general election 1996|1996]] by merging the seat of [[Birkenhead (NZ electorate)|Birkenhead]] with most of the old [[Glenfield (NZ electorate)|Glenfield]] electorate; its boundaries have remained largely unchanged since.


He graduated in law from the [[University of Buenos Aires]], and participated in the constitutional assembly of 1860. He was a number of times a national deputy and senator. In 1882 he occupied a seat on the Supreme Court of the [[Province of Buenos Aires]]. Later he was employed as president of the Provincial Bank, director of the Academy of Jurisprudence, and had a seat in the General Council of Education.
Northcote continues the electoral habits of its predecessor seats; Birkenhead was a reasonably safe seat for the [[New Zealand National Party|National Party]], supplying it with [[Jim McLay]], who lead the party in the mid 1980s, and remains the only National Party leader to never take his party to an election. In [[New Zealand general election 1987|1987]], the seat that would provide National with a leader provided [[New Zealand Labour Party|Labour]] with a gain, before swinging back into the blue column when Labour's fortunes thinned out at the [[New Zealand general election 1990|1990 election]]. Glenfield also followed this boom and bust model, being held by Labour Party MP [[Judy Keall]] through the duration of the fourth Labour government before the National Party landslide in 1990 claimed Keall as one of its victims.


On [[12 October]], [[1892]] Sáenz Peña was inaugurated president of the country. Weakened by many radical uprisings, on [[23 January]], [[1895]] he presented his resignation to Congress, which accepted it. The government passed into the hands of [[José Evaristo Uriburu]], who completed the term ending in 1898.
The first MP for Northcote was [[Ian Revell]] from the National Party, who would rise to become the Deputy Speaker. Revell was caught up in a scandal for misuse of offical letterhead and was defeated by Labour's [[Ann Hartley]] in [[New Zealand general election, 1999]]. Hartley herself was ousted by the seat's present representative, Jonathan Coleman when National consolidated the centre-right vote in 2005.
