With less than a month until voting closes for local body elections, we take a look at who is in the running for the mayoralty in Wellington.
With nine candidates vying to become mayor, three main contenders are leading the pack; incumbent Andy Foster, Labour MP for Rongotai and former deputy mayor Paul Eagle, and former Green Party chief of staff Tory Whanau.
