Capital Letter: Will Wellington City Council vote to sell it's stake in Wellington Airport?

View descriptionShare

The Wellington City Council will vote on a motion to ditch the planned sale of its 34% stake in Wellington Airport on Thursday - which marks the end of a long-running saga that has split councillors almost down the middle.  

NZ Herald's Wellington Issues reporter Georgina Campbell says there have been so many flip-flops from various councillors that it's not known if opponents to the sale will have the numbers to pass the motion.

Regardless if it passes or fails, indications are it will only be by one or two votes.

Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau has been an ardent supporter of selling the shares and has lost the confidence of some councillors typically seen as part of her voting bloc. 

Campbell joined Nick Mills for the Capital Letter.
