This week’s Star newspaper confirms that Nathan McCluskey and Merav Benaia will be People’s Choice candidates in Papanui Ward in the 2019 local elections. These two join the three incumbents (Cr Mike Davidson, Emma Norrish, and John Stringer) as well as Think Papanui’s Simon Britten as candidates in the Ward. It appears that right-leaning Independent Citizens will not be contesting the Community Board or Council seats in Papanui.
