Tory Whanau is Wellington’s new mayor and the city’s first Māori mayor. Tory won by a landslide 34,510 votes – over double the votes received by the second-place candidate. It was the largest victory seen in 18 years.
We chatted to Tory at the very start of her campaign, when this was all ahead of her.
We asked two previous Mayors, Dame Kerry Prendergast and Celia Wade-Brown, to reflect on their time in office and asked what Wellington needs next.
