Tory Whanau bows out of Wellington mayoral race
Tory Whanau has bowed out of the Wellington mayoral race but won't rule out running for the capital's top job in 2028. Ms Whanau, who's had a turbulent time as mayor, said she will instead be running to be a councillor for the Maori ward. It comes after former Labour Party heavyweight Andrew Little threw his hat in the ring for the city's top job. Wellington Issues Reporter Nick James reports.
