Background
After a popular term in office the incumbent mayor, John Duthie, surprisingly declined to seek re-election. There was speculation that former city councillor Kennedy Macdonald (who retired in Duthie's favour at the previous election) would stand to succeed him as mayor, though he did not.[1] After a period of uncertainty over whether any candidates would come forward at all, Charles Johnston, the former member of parliament for Шаблон:NZ electorate link, was nominated. Ultimately he was the only candidate nominated and thus was declared elected unopposed.[2] It was the second mayoral election in a row where the mayoralty was uncontested.Шаблон:Sfn
