Bringing Political Power Back to Northland
New Zealand First stood in this by-election to end the neglect of Northland brought about by decades of abandonment by the National Party, says Leader and candidate for the Northland by-election Rt Hon Winston Peters.
“Northlanders know they have been forgotten but now recognise they can bring about change by sending the government a message.
"New Zealand First won't change the government but we will change the way they think about Northland.
"Our Northland by-election campaign headquarters will be in Russell. We are going back to New Zealand's first capital, to show our intention to return real political power to the people of Northland.
“Our election night choice goes to the heart of this campaign and is symbolic of this campaign because this settlement, near to Okiato, was New Zealand’s first capital in 1840.”
Venue: The Duke of Marlborough Hotel
