Oakford is an electoral district of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. The seat was created at the 2023 redistribution. [1]
Oakford was first contested at the 2025 state election and was notionally held by the Labor Party on a 27.7% margin. [1] Yaz Mubarakai was elected as Oakford's first MP following a switch of electorates from Jandakot. Mubarakai would be succeeded by Stephen Pratt in Jandakot.
Oakford was created in response to significant population growth in the corridor between the outer southern Perth cities of Cockburn and Armadale. The district was named for the semi-rural locality of Oakford which takes up around one-third of the area. [1]
