Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel is seeking a leave of
absence.
The decision relates to a personal
matter.
“I am taking a leave of absence due to the
state of my husband's health and ask that our privacy be
respected at this time,” the Mayor says. “I will be
making no further comment.”
Deputy Mayor Andrew
Turner will be the Acting Mayor during this
period.
