Labour’s remaining selections
With last night’s Epsom selection, National has now completed selections in all 63 general electorates.
Labour started their candidate selection much earlier and ranked their party list a couple of months ago. But they have yet to select candidate for ten or so seats. Now this is unusual with just 20 weeks to go. I suspect in some seats they are finding it hard to get a candidate as they have no chance of winning, and as the list is already ranked they can’t even offer a place as a consolation.
As far as I know (let me know if wrong), Labour are yet to select for:
- Epsom
- Hunua
- Ikaroa-Rawhiti
- Kaikoura
- Selwyn
- Tamaki
- Taupo
- Tauranga
- Waikato
Who will they be?
