    Todd Muller says he's accepted Hamish Walker's decision to withdraw his Southland candidacy

    National leader Todd Muller says he has accepted Hamish Walker's decision to withdraw his candidacy for the seat of Southland and not stand at the upcoming election


    Muller says there was a clear breach of trust, which goes against the values National holds as a party.

    He says the National Party Board will still meet to discuss the selection of a new candidate
