Two candidates lead race for the mayoralty

A LETTERBOX poll shows Marie Olsen and Vince Cocurullo are the frontrunners in the WDC mayoralty race and puts newcomer Brad Flower ahead of Ken Couper and Fiona Green.

The tracking poll asks respondents to list the five candidates in order of preference, and the results are calculated using STV counting.

Both Couper and Green have come out in favour of Maori wards and co-governance. Couper is being promoted by far-left leaning “influencers”. Quite possibly, their endorsement is doing Ken Couper more harm than good, as it highlights his voting record that supports far-left policies in an electorate that resoundingly rejected the left-leaning parties at the last general election.
