Labour leader David Shearer's chief press secretary Fran Mold has resigned to move to Auckland.
Ms Mold said her partner had taken a job in Auckland and she was moving with him. There was no acrimony in her decision and she had a good relationship with Mr Shearer.
Ms Mold,a former TVNZ and NZ Herald political reporter, went to work for Labour when Phil Goff was the leader.
She said she did not yet have a job in Auckland and will leave in May.
Her replacement is yet to be decided, but Julian Robins, a former Radio NZ reporter is likely to be a front runner. Mr Robins went to work for Labour last year.
