Auckland – as expected Wayne Brown was re-elect in a landslide. It also looks like a good result for the centre and centre right with Victoria Short defeating an incumbent in Albany and Matt Winiata replacing retiring Angela Dalton in Manurewa-Papakura
Wellington – as expected Andrew Little won easily. The Council remains controlled by the left. A couple of useful new Councillors though. Outgoing Mayor Tory Whanau failed to get elected in the Maori Ward.
Christchurch – Phil Mauger wins easily. However the left do fairly well with some of the ward elections, so could be a more tense term
Sophie Barker has been elected Mayor, with the incumbent in 4th place
Selwyn – the LGNZ President Sam Broughton got hammered, getting around 1/4 of the votes of the winner
Upper Hutt – Eight term Mayor Wayne Guppy loses
Queenstown – Mayor Glyn Lewers loses after one term
