The 1893 Wanganui by-election was a by-election held on 9 June 1893 during the 11th New Zealand Parliament in the central North Island electorate of Wanganui.[1]
The election was held due to the death of sitting Member, Prime Minister John Ballance. The contest for his former seat was won by his longtime friend and business partner Archibald Willis, who received support from the constituents by keeping the "Ballance tradition" alive.[2]
