Labour list MP and former West Coast/Tasman MP Damien O’Connor has confirmed he is standing for the Labour candidacy to run against sitting National MP Miles Anderson, who last week confirmed he would stand again.
Mr O’Connor, who moved to Dunedin last year, said the issue of whether he stood as a list MP or for an electorate was being discussed with the party, "and, ultimately, there is a party process that will determine that".
