Wellington Central MP Marian Hobbs says she understands ACT Leader Richard Prebble's decision not to stand in the
electorate at this year's General Election.
"While I welcome all challengers in the coming election, Mr Prebble has clearly read the lie of the land in Wellington
Central. There is a positive, upbeat mood in the city and the government has contributed to this.
"I am quietly confident that my work as a practical, approachable MP will be recognised when I seek re-election later
this year. I am keen to continue to be Wellington Central's voice in government," Marian Hobbs said.
Marian Hobbs took Wellington Central from Richard Prebble at the last election by 1400 votes
