At the moment no one else has put their hand up to stand against incumbent mayor Celia Wade-Brown, despite the efforts of a group of Wellingtonians – apparently spearheaded by Rex Nichols and Chris Parkin – to find a high profile candidate to contest the mayoralty.

This wasn’t the end of it though. Replacement...
