Turn out critical for Collins’ mayoral chance
Auckland mayoral candidate Efeso Collins says he knows he’s in a tight battle for the council’s top job.
The South Auckland councillor is trailing businessman Wayne Brown in the latest polls.
He says his team is putting in a huge effort until the polls close in 10 days.
“To make sure that people are aware of the election, that they actually take the time to open those purple envelopes and vote, and that is why ringing people and being out on the streets door knocking is going to be a vital approach to doing that,” he says.
Mr Collins says if Maori and Pasifika voters turn out in force, anything is possible.
