新西兰国会议员梅根伍兹(Megan Woods)选择只选名单候选人, New Zealand MP Megan Woods opts for list-only candidacy, avoiding her at-risk Wigram seat.

Megan Woods是新西兰劳工议员, 宣布她将在下届选举中以唯一名单候选人的身份竞选, Megan Woods, a New Zealand Labour MP, announced she will run as a list-only candidate in the next election, avoiding her Wigram seat. 这一决定的起因是,由于拟议的边界变动和国民党可能获得收益,有可能失去席位。 This decision stems from the risk of losing the seat due to proposed boundary changes and the possibility of a National Party gain. 自2011年以来担任该席位的Woods也可以离开议会,如果劳工党输了,也不会引发补选。 Woods, who has held the seat since 2011, can also leave Parliament without triggering a by-election if Labour loses. 她的举动引起了支持者和批评者的不同反应。 Her move has sparked mixed reactions from supporters and critics alike.
