Owen JenningsOwen Jennings is a former New Zealand politician. He was an MP from 1996 to 2002, representing the ACT New Zealand party. Before entering politics, Jennings was a farmer. He was first elected to Parliament in the 1996 elections, becoming a list MP. In 1998, he unsuccessfully attempted to become an electorate MP, contesting the Taranaki-King Country by-election. He surprised commentators by winning second place, pushing the Labour Party into third. In the 1999 elections, he remained a list MP. In the 2002 elections, however, Jennings was controversially ranked only twelfth on ACT's party list, making it doubtful that he would return to Parliament. Penny Webster, another former farmer, was also ranked lowly, possibly indicating that ACT was no longer campaigning for the rural vote. Jennings did not return to Parliament.
