Thames-Coromandel District Council election candidate Danny Topia has passed away.

Topia was a running for a seat on the Coromandel-Colville Community Board as part of the local election. He was due to speak, alongside others, at the local Meet the Candidates event in Coromandel Town last night.

Topia died earlier yesterday.

Our Council extends its heartfelt condolences to Topia’s whānau, friends and supporters.

Topia’s candidate profile is included in the local election voting packs which should have now arrived in people’s letterboxes.

Any votes already cast for Topia will not be counted.

Voting remains open until midday Saturday 11 October.
