A call for a grand coalition on the back of Saturday night’s election result from Coromandel’s Green Candidate, Pamela Grealey.

The in-waiting result factor prompted the call, along with the challenges ahead due to the global economic situation.

Pamela finished third in the electorate race with 4302 votes – up 10 percent on the 2023 result.

National’s Scott Simpson romped home with a 14,000 majority over Labour’s Glen Bennett.

For Grealey the time had come for what she described as some really grown up conversations.
