The landscape for the Auckland mayoral race has changed again with another high profile candidate pulling the pin.

Heart of the City CEO Viv Beck this morning announced that she's no longer going for the city's top job.

She says that her decision to quit is to avoid splitting the centre-right vote with Wayne Brown.

Simon Wilson is a New Zealand Herald senior writer who's been following the mayoral race closely, he talks to Jesse about the change in candidates.
