In 1933, election were held for the Mayor of Christchurch plus 16 councillors and other local government positions. Background Sitting mayor Dan Sullivan sought re-election for a second term. The Citizens' Association, whose leaders had cooperated well with Sullivan during the term, decided not to put up an opposing candidate "... the Citizens' Association's leading councillors declined to stand against Sullivan and only a somewhat eccentric Independent, Lancelot Walker, opposed him. Walker favoured some grandiose schemes and Sullivan appeared safely conservative in comparison."Watson 1989 138 Mayoral results The following table gives the election results: 1933 Christchurch mayoral electionhttps://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP19330504.2.98 Local Elections - Mr Sullivan Retains the Mayoralty The Press 4 May 1933 LXIX 20846 10 New Zealand Labour Party Dan Sullivan 18,345 62.72 Independent politician Lancelot Charles Walker 10,389 35.51 515 1.76 7,956 27.20 29,249 Council results The following table gives the overall party strengths and vote distribution.
