Palmerston North candidates get chance to impress
Morning neighbours,
Is there a hot local topic or election issue you'd like put to the people vying to be your representative in Parliament?
Palmerston North electorate candidates standing in the general election will have their chance to impress voters at a meeting hosted by the Manawatū Standard on Tuesday.
Invited candidates have been asked to speak at a meeting at the Palmerston North City Library at 6.30pm, September 26. Manawatū People’s Radio is also helping with the event.
Attending will be incumbent Labour MP Tangi Utikere, as well as challengers Ankit Bansal of National, ACT’s Mike Harnett and Palmerston North-based Green list MP Teanau Tuiono.
There will be time for questions from readers, so comment below or message us with any questions you'd like put to the candidates.
