14 candidates eye Dunedin's vacant mayoral spot

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

There can be only one, but 14 people will battle for the vacant Dunedin mayoralty.

As nominations for the local body elections closed on Friday at noon, 37 signalled their intentions to run for council, which has 14 vacancies.

Fourteen of those council hopefuls were also eyeing up the top job.

Earlier this year, three-term Dunedin mayor Dave Cull, 69, confirmed he was not seeking reelection as mayor or standing for councillor at this year's local body elections.
