    It’s there, if you follow the trail down the Upper Hutt links:

    Upper Hutt mayor election results. ZEE, Peri 4,199 votes. GUPPY, Wayne 3,200 votes. MCLEOD, Angela 1,534 votes. GRIFFITHS, Blair 1,492 votes. HOLDERNESS, Emma (Independent) 1,450 votes. SWALES, Hellen (Change we need, voice you deserve) 1,239 votes.

    Just reading up on his Wikipedia page, someone in Upper Hutt is quick off the trigger with the results 😆

    This bit was interesting:

    Guppy diverted money from Three Waters funding to pay for floodlights for the rugby club which he is president of. He was accused of a “conflict of interest”.[16]

      So, it sounds like we’re in a similar situation to Wellington with a huge backlog of infrastructure investment. Lovely.

      Also, this guy apparently had Graham Bloxham of Wellington Live running his social media for a while, which seems like a shocking lack of judgement.
