The Herald notes:
Thirteen political parties and 544 individual candidates will contest the November 26 election. …
While there were 19 parties in 2008, only thirteen have registered this year. …
The nominations also showed a drop in the number of individual candidates, with 544 this year compared with 682 in 2008.
There are 91 list-only candidates, 73 electorate-only, and 380 standing for both. Thirty candidates are standing as independents or representing unregistered parties.
The most sought after seat is Wellington Central, currently held by Labour’s Grant Robertson, which 12 candidates, including Mr Robertson, will compete for.
The number of men competing for a place in Parliament is more than double the number of women, with 397 compared with 147 women registered.
