Michael Laws

Southern Man blogs in the Herald:

The sudden announcement by Michael Laws, Mayor of Wanganui and radio host, that he will be running again was certainly a surprise after three years of emphatic denial that he would run for a second term.

Is this correct?  While Laws did say a while back he is reconsidering his decision not to restand, I haven’t seen any announcement that he will restand.  A quick Google doesn’t find any such announcement.  Is the Herald correct or not?
