Chu vs McLellan

is going to be very interesting.

have no doubt Ruth Dyson would hold the seat if she continued, even on the new boundaries.

But 's candidate is Vice-President Tracey McLellan, best known for being on that dismissed all the complaints against a staffer in Jacinda Ardern's office. She also doesn't live in the electorate.

National's candidate is Catherine Chu won election to the Christchurch City Council with two and a half times as many votes as the Labour candidate. Chu is also a financial advisor. She has shown she knows how to campaign well and win.
