Winston not standing in Mt Roskill

New Zealand First will not stand a candidate in Auckland’s Mt Roskill by-election, narrowing the field further after the Greens and ACT also opted not to stand.

Leader Winston Peters said a “serious number” of candidates had come forward, but the party decided to focus its resources on the 2017 election.

So it may only be Labour, National and the new migrant party.
