The 2022 Christchurch mayoral election was part of the 2022 New Zealand local elections that took place on 8 October 2022,[1] with the new mayor's term lasting to 2025. There are no term limits, but the incumbent third-term mayor, Lianne Dalziel, had announced that she would not be seeking a fourth term.[2][3][4] One of the key election issues was whether or not to build a stadium which would cost $683m.[5]
Candidates
[edit]Phil Mauger, who was first elected as a city councillor at the 2019 local elections, was the first to declare his candidacy 14 months out from the election. He said in August 2021 that he would stand for mayor only and not also contest his incumbent council seat.[6] The Wizard of New Zealand was the next to declare his candidacy in December 2021.[7] David Meates, the former Canterbury District Health Board chief executive, announced his candidacy in June 2022.[8][9] A debate between the 2 frontrunner candidates Phil Mauger and David Meates was hosted by Stuff on 16 Sep 2022.[10]
