Goff retiring as super city mayor

Phil Goff has announced that he will not seek re-election as Auckland’s Mayor.

With Richard Hills announcing that he will not stand it appears that for progressives Efeso Collins is the best placed candidate.

The next couple of days will be crucial however and it will be interesting to see if any other names are proposed.

Much will be written about Goff’s reign but my overwhelming impression is that he handled what is the hardest job in politics with skill and dedication and the city has improved during his reign.
