Greens initial list
The Greens have published their draft list for 2023. It is:
- Marama Davidson (nc)
- James Shaw (nc)
- Chlöe Swarbrick (nc)
- Dr Elizabeth Kerekere (+5)
- Julie Anne Genter (-1)
- Teanau Tuiono (+2)
- Ricardo Menéndez March (+3)
- Hūhana Lyndon (new)
- Golriz Ghahraman (-2)
- Lan Pham (new)
- Steve Abel (nc)
- Fa’anānā Efeso Collins (new)
- Darleen Tana (+29)
- Kahurangi Carter (new)
- Lawrence Xu-Nan (+2)
- Benjamin Doyle (new)
The drop of two places for Ghahraman is significant, especially as two MPs have retired so effectively she has been dropped four places.
Kerekere and March are on the harder left end of the Greens, so a clear sign they are dominant.
TIt will be interesting to see how the final list varies from this one.
