A good number of people attended a well-run "Meet the Candidates" session at the Tawa Union Church early in November. With Tawa being split across the middle in terms of electorate boundaries, representatives from both Mana and Ohariu electorates participated. All seven presented their cases well.

Pictured above, in the order in which they spoke, are Kris Faafoi, the Mana MP (Labour), Hekia Parata (National list MP for Mana), Jan Logie (Green candidate for Mana), Peter Dunne, the Ohariu MP (United Future), Charles Chauvel (Labour list MP for Ohariu), Stephen Woodnutt (Conservative candidate for Ohariu), and Sean Fitzpatrick (Libertarianz candidate for Ohariu).
