Candidates Chris Te Whare, Te Takinga New, and Maggie Stewart.
The upcoming Turangi Tongariro byelection has generated plenty of interest from candidates.
Three candidates, all with local body experience, are seeking to fill the Turangi Tongariro ward seat left vacant following the resignation last month of Turangi Tongariro ward councillor Zane Cozens.
Former long-serving community board member and Turangi Tongariro
councillor Maggie Stewart, who narrowly lost her seat to Mr Cozens at the last election, is making a bid to regain her council seat.
Another former Turangi Tongariro Community Board member, Chris Te Whare, is also seeking to fill the vacant council seat. The former Turangi police officer was on the community board for six years but stood down at the last election after shifting to Taupo.
He made an unsuccessful bid to gain election to council as a Taupo Kaingaroa representative at the last election.
