Prime Minister Bill English has arrived for his first campaign event of the day - a tour of Eastern Hutt School in Wellington.
He was given flowers by one student on arrival, and said it had been a long time since he'd received flowers.
As about 100 excited children thronged
around him several told their classmates, "I got his signature".
The school visit became Increasingly chaotic, with a group of about 100 pupils swarming around him.
After a teacher blocked access to one classroom those outside pressed their faces to the glass to get a glimpse of the PM.
