Local Elections
🌿 Dear Neighbours of the Waitākere Ranges, 🌿
Our community is unique — rich with diversity, natural beauty, and the strong spirit of everyday families working hard to make a better life. But too often, our voices are drowned out by the same old faces and the same old politics.
I, QURESHI, Rizwan Ahmed, am standing as a candidate for the Waitākere Ranges Local Board because I believe it’s time for fresh energy, fair representation, and real change.
✅ I will stand up for families, young people, and seniors who deserve a stronger voice.
✅ I will work to make our neighbourhoods safer, greener, and more connected.
✅ I will bring transparency, accountability, and community-first decision making.
This election is about you – your hopes, your future, and your right to be heard. Together, we can shape a board that reflects all of us, not just a select few.
🗳️ On election day, I humbly ask you to place your trust in me.
Vote for QURESHI, Rizwan Ahmed – your voice, your future.

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
