New Zealand’s first bus with Winston Peters on board goes down Stafford St in Timaru.
New Zealand First frontman Winston Peters and his Back Your Future bus tour visited Timaru on Sunday, but didn’t stop.
The party’s campaign bus passed through Timaru, touring The Bay Hill and port areas, on its way from Ashburton to meetings in Oamaru and Dunedin, but Peters plans to return to Timaru on Wednesday, party spokesman Darroch Ball said.
“We are going to Oamaru, and then once we reach the Bluff, we will return to Timaru on Wednesday mid-afternoon.

According to Ball, the convoy left Christchurch on Sunday morning to make stops in Oamaru and Dunedin in the evening.

New Zealand’s first tour bus, on the left, heads to The Bay Hill area in Timaru.
“Winston stops and wants to talk to people on the ground and find out what the problems are with the locals and see what’s going on.
“Obviously, everything is part of the progress of the campaign and he wants to hear.”
Peters began his election campaign in August by committing to visit New Zealand towns and cities.
