Councillor Runs for Parliament Amid Controversy | Christchurch News
Description
Selwyn councillor Elizabeth Mundt is making a bold political leap—stepping into the race for Parliament as New Zealand First’s candidate, despite being sidelined from council duties since a serious horse-riding concussion. With the election just weeks away, the council is staying neutral while reviewing legal protocols, as Mundt faces off against a crowded field including Labour, National, Greens, and independents—all vying to unseat long-serving MP Nicola Grigg. Her ties to controversial groups and campaign manager’s affiliations add intrigue, while the council’s focus remains on preserving public trust and clarity as this high-stakes local-to-national crossover unfolds.
