Listen "Who's who in the Hamilton West by-election?"
Episode Synopsis
The residents of Hamilton West will soon be heading to the polls. A by-election was sparked last month after Dr Gaurav Sharma resigned from Parliament, after weeks of allegations against his former party, Labour. Labour is now looking to hold the seat, while National is eyeing up another gain – yet neither party seems to be talking up their chances of success. So who are the main candidates running, and is it going to be closer than we think? Today, I’m joined by NZ Herald political reporter Adam Pearse to discuss the race to become the country’s newest MP.
