Carter bows out of Selwyn

David Carter has confirmed he will not seek the nomination for the National seat of . Anger over the the selection process used last year has not dissipated so he has made the call so that the Electorate can unite behind a new candidate.

trust what happened in Selwyn will as a learning exercise for National, on how not to handle a selection. Contested are healthy – even when an incumbent MP is involved.

It is a highly desirable seat and I expect at least five candidates will seek it.  Pre-selection will whittle that down to five and the selection is on April 8.  Kudos to David Carter for putting the party first.  He will of course have a winnable list place.  – on current polls almost every candidate has a winnable list place 🙂
