BREAKING: Leo Molloy steps down – new Poll shows Efeso leading
Breaking news that Leo Molloy has stood down as candidate for the Auckland mayoralty.
A new Curia Poll puts Efeso Collins ahead.
Labour will breath a sigh of relief, losing Auckland a year out from the next election would be damaging.
Efeso is likely to win now, Viv Beck won’t benefit from Leo supporters.
Leo’s interview with Guy Williams will be the funniest political interview in NZ history.

Sad, i doubt the Auckland council elections will attract 30% of the eligible vote now.
Horray! best news I have heard for ages lets hope our Maori and PI whanau make and effort to vote for Efeso if they don’t they can’t moan about anything.
Viv and Craig will withdraw, the centre right will coalesce around Wayne, who will beat Efeso.
You read it here first.
You forgot Lisa Lewis.
Wayne Brown? an arrogant s.o.b, who ran a vendetta against PSA members and sacked many staff when FNDC Mayor. Transferred rating burden from Farming/commercial to residential sector. He also travelled on ratepayers money to “sister cities” in China and Canada to try and do mining deals in the Far North, and used inside knowledge for his personal development projects. Ignored Standing orders when chairing Auck. DHB.
If Aucklanders vote for Brown they have rocks in their heads.
Aucklanders voted for both Brown and Goff, so yeah they do have rocks in their heads.
How is he a token brownie. Efeso lost the candidacy and the foolish labour lot put that pathetic woman in (Salesa) in instead in South Auckland. Efeso is seen by Labour as far too out-spoken about the massive problems his community have with lack of housing and poverty and all of the stuff that hits brown people first and foremost.
Foolish not to vote him in frankly.
Good job. Molloy is a Trump knock off and I’m glad he is out.
Efeso all the way.
Viv and Wayne are jusy empty-suit technocrats are the rest are irrelevant. Lisa Lewis just wants her share of clicks.
