From First Up, 5:53 am on 1 March 2022

The Labour Party has endorsed Councillor Efeso Collins for the mayoralty of Auckland. The current mayor Phil Goff will not be seeking re-election this year saying he wants to see a new generation of leadership for the city. The new mayor will inherit a council laden with debt, a cost of living crisis and a city at the centre of New Zealand's Covid-19 outbreak. Efeso Collins spoke with Nathan Rarere.
