Chauvel for Wellington Central

Labour List MP Charles Chauvel has confirmed he wishes to stand for Wellington Central, not Ohariu-Belmont, next election and has written to local Labour Party members asking them for their support.

It will be interesting to see if Grant Robertson contests the nomination.

Also of interest is that Northland based List MP Shane Jones has said he is interesting is seeking the Rimutaka nomination.  So the so called rejuvenation may just turn out to be electorate MPs replaced by list MPs!
