The independent Electoral Boundaries Commission on Thursday announced nine existing electoral districts across the state will be replaced, including Mr Pakula’s seat of Keysborough.
His constituents will be split between the remaining seats of Clarinda, Dandenong, Mordialloc and Mulgrave.
‘‘So what the hell happened to Keysborough?’’ Mr Pakula tweeted following the announcement.
Mr Pakula is the state minister for major events, trade, tourism, racing and sport.
He was first elected as a member of the upper house for the Western Metropolitan region in 2006, before moving to the lower house as the member for Lyndhurst in a 2013 by-election.
That seat was abolished prior to the 2014 election and largely replaced by Keysborough, which Mr Pakula retained.
Former Attorney-General Jill Hennessy is also set to lose her electorate of Altona.
But the electorate will be replaced with Point Cook, which will take in parts of Werribee to reflect population changes.
The eastern seats Burwood (Labor), Ferntree Gully (Liberal), Forest Hill (Liberal) and Mount Waverley (Labor) have all been abolished and replaced with the new seats of Ashwood and Glen Waverley.
More than 900,000 people — or 21.28 per cent of the total number of voters — will be transferred to different districts, which will take effect at the next state election in November 2022.
