Tanczos to stay till election
Green Party MP Nandor Tanczos will remain in Parliament till the 2008 election.
"I had hoped that I might step down soon and allow Co-Leader Russel Norman to take my place before the election, however, that will not be possible," Nandor says.
"In order for Russel to take my place, candidate Catherine Delahunty and former Green MP Mike Ward both would have had to step aside. Catherine was willing to do so, however, Mike was not. After discussing options with my colleagues I decided it would be better for me to stay.
"In addition, progress on my Waste Minimisation Bill has been slower than I expected and I would like to stay is to see its path through the House. It is an important piece of legislation that will make a big difference to the way we deal with waste in New Zealand."
