Minto for Mayor

Stuff reports:

Political activist John Minto is running for the Christchurch mayoralty.

Three years after seeking the Auckland mayoralty, veteran protester Minto has announced his intention to challenge Christchurch incumbent Lianne Dalziel in October’s local body elections. 

Minto has been involved in the city’s anti-asset sales group since relocating from Auckland early last year.

More protests to join down there?

He didn’t so well in Auckland, getting fewer votes than Penny Bright!
