Three shortlisted for Hamilton West

National announced:

On Sunday, local National Party members will select a candidate from the following shortlist:

Rachel Afeaki-Taumoepeau Frances Hughes Tama Potaka

This will be a damn hard choice, from three great candidates.

Rachel is one of the leading Pacific businesswomen in New Zealand having chaired the NZ Tonga Business Council and taken up governance roles with many businesses and organisations.

Frances is globally recognised as a leader in health. She has been the CEO of the International Nursing Council and is the current  Group General Manager Clinical and Care services for a major healthcare provider.

Tama is the CEO of an Iwi, has been an investment advisor at the NZ Super Fund and the former head of corporate services for Tainui.

I don’t know who will win, but I hope the two who don’t make it look at other seats, and/or the party list.
