My name is Rizwan Ahmed Qureshi, and if we haven’t met yet, I’m a dad, a husband, and a long-time community advocate right here in Waitakere.
Your ballot papers are arriving now. This is our chance to choose a Local Board member who listens, cares, and will roll up their sleeves to get things done.
I’m not a career politician. I’m a neighbour who shares your concerns: keeping our communities safe from flooding, protecting our stunning natural environment, and creating a future our kids will be proud to inherit.
I promise to be your accessible, hardworking, and honest voice on the Board.
When you fill out your ballot, please vote for QURESHI, Rizwan Ahmed. Let’s build a stronger, greener, more connected Waitakere—together.
Ngā mihi,
Rizwan Ahmed Qureshi
