New Zealand First has chosen former TV One weatherman Brendan Horan as its candidate for Tauranga, the seat once held by party leader Winston Peters.
Mr Horan is the first candidate for next year's election to be announced by the party.
"Since Winston left nothing has really happened in Tauranga except the young people have been loaded with more student debt, self-employed small business owners are really struggling and senior citizens are being continually threatened with lower superannuation or a higher retiring age," he said today.
The seat is held by National's Simon Bridges.
