Tainui popularity contest update: It’s a one horse race

In a short time the popularity poll has received loads of votes! Thank you!

A ‘one horse race’ has developed as deposed former chairman Tom Roa streaks ahead of the competition.

The contrast could not be greater when you compare the number of votes received by the group of underhanded conspirators, whose backroom deal saw Roa deposed and the alcoholic Rahui Papa inserted to the chairmanship of the executive. The conspirators are just pathetic blips on the radar: Maori king Tuheitia Paki (6 votes) Tukuroirangi Morgan (5 votes) Rangi Whakaruru (3 votes) Rahui Papa (3 votes) Hoki-Mai Chong (2 votes) Tipa Mahuta (2 votes) Paki Rawiri (2 votes) Rukumoana Schaafhausen (2 votes)

In the meantime voting in the popularity contest is still open, we’ve inserted the poll into the sidebar on the right for your voting convenience. Voting is open to all, don’t miss out on your chance to have a say!
