AUCKLAND

Mayoralty
Super City mayor Len Brown will be staying for another three years, early polling results show.

A spokesman from Auckland Council confirmed the "progress result" had counted 148,944 votes in favour of Mr Brown.

His closest competitor, John Palino, had earned 98,930 votes.

"That final result for the mayoral candidates will not change. Len [Brown] is definitely back in," the spokesman said.

At a celebration in the city-fringe suburb of Kingsland, Brown congratulated the other campaigners on their results.
