NZ Local Elections 2025

Mayor of Manawatū

The mayor is the leader of the council. Their job is to promote a vision for the district and lead the development of the council’s plans, policies and budget. The mayor appoints the deputy mayor, establishes committees for particular topics, and appoints chairs for those committees. There will be no election this year because there are the same number of candidates as there are positions.
