The announcement was made last Wednesday evening at CALM’s public meeting in Southwards. At present there are 3 confirmed candidates including Concerned Ratepayers Kapiti chair Chris Harwood, all of whom spoke briefly about themselves and why they are standing; go to the website linked below for the video.

At present two committee members of Concerned Ratepayers Kapiti are also on the committee of Calm Alarmist Law Madness — website www.kapiticalm.com

The colour chosen of teal fits with the use of it by what are called’ Teal Independents’ in Australia who in the last Federal election gained some seats in the lower house.

There is pretty much a common platform with ACT, but We Love Kapiti wants to be separate from national level political parties.
