P.M. on busy campaign trail from Monday
PA Wellington The Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) will visit 27 centres in as many days on an election campaign trail which will take him up to Whangarei and down to Invercargill, according to his itinerary released yesterday. Mr Muldoon is likely to make 34 speeches on the tour which will take in the crucial electorates of Kaipara, Gisborne, Hastings, Wellington Central, New Plymouth. Horowhenua, Waitaki, and the most marginal of the marginal seats, Kapiti. At the beginning of the second week of the trail, starting on Monday at Hamilton, he will be at Dargaville, in the Kaipara electorate which Social Credit is pushing to win. On Wednesday, Mr Muldoon will visit Gisborne, a National seat for which Labour is angling, moving on
on Thursday to Hastings, perhaps National’s greatest hope to win a seat from the Opposition.
At the start of the third week he will attend a public meeting in the Wellington Town Hall, in an electorate where Labour’s Ms Fran Wilde is battling to oust National’s Mr Ken Comber. From there Mr Muldoon will travel to the marginal New Plymouth electorate. On Monday of the last week he will go to Levin in Horowhenua, a National seat for which Labour has hopes and to Kapiti, which was won by National’s Mr Barry Brill on a recount in 1978 and is New Zealand’s most marginal electorate.
Mr Muldoon will finish his campaign in Palmerston North and will be in his home electorate of Tamaki on election night, November 28.
