July 2025 Leftward shift There was a notable leftward shift in the local elections throughout the country and many notable long term centre-right mayors were replaced by left-wing mayors throughout the country. In the new position of Auckland super-mayor, Manukau City mayor Len Brown (a Labour party politician) replaced centre-right Auckland City mayor John Banks. In Wellington, Green Party candidate Celia Wade-Brown replaced right leaning, Kerry Prendergast. New left-wing mayors replaced retiring incumbents in Wanganui and New Plymouth and incumbent mayors like that of Janie Annear in Timaru defeated conservative challengers.Prendergast waits as country swings left http://tvnz.co.nz/local-elections-2010/prendergast-waits-country-swings-left-3829601 11 January 2011 Aftermath July 2025 See also Elections in New Zealand 2004 New Zealand local elections 2007 New Zealand local elections Notes References 2 autocollapse * Category:October 2010 in New Zealand Category:2010 New Zealand local elections
