Mahesh Bindra, the current New Zealand First List MP and Party spokesperson for Corrections is all set to return Parliament as a List MP.
NZ First has today released a list of 56 candidates which has leader Winston Peters at the top and deputy Ron Mark at number two.
Mr Bindra is on the tenth rank on the list, one better than the last time (2014) when he first entered into parliament placed at the eleventh position of NZ First List.
Mr Bindra will be fourth Kiwi-Indian MP after National’s Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi and Dr Parmjeet Parmar and Labour’s Priyanca Radhakrishnan, who is set to enter in parliament based on their rankings in their respective Party’s list and current polling.
Shane Jones, debuting as the NZ First candidate and potentially tipped to be a successor to Winston Peters is placed at comfortable eighth ranking.
Given the fact that a current MP from the Party – Richard Prosser was placed at a shaky 15th rank – three below than Non- MPs in the list, Mr Bindra’s elevation by one level should reflect well on the confidence that Mr Peters has in Mr Bindra.
The Indian Weekender wishes good luck to Mr Bindra.
