Raf Manji new TOP leader

The Opportunities Party, TOP, has announced Raf Manji as its new leader to take the political minnows into the 2023 election. Manji, well known in Christchurch after stints on the Christchurch City Council and in various community roles, will be the fourth leader of the party, which has competed in the past two elections but has never made it into Parliament. The party was founded by economist Gareth Morgan in 2016 and hit 2.6 per cent of the party vote under Morgan’s leadership before declining to 1.5 per cent of the party vote under former Treasury official Geoff Simmons’ leadership.
