🎗️ Thank You, Waitākere Ranges 🎗️
The people have spoken, and democracy has served its purpose.
Kia ora, neighbours,
Though the results were not in our favour, I accept the outcome with humility and respect for the democratic process. The heart of democracy lies not only in victory but in peaceful participation and accepting the will of the people.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who believed in me, supported my campaign, and cast your vote in my name. Your trust and encouragement have meant more than words can express.
To my family, friends, volunteers, and every member of this wonderful community — thank you for standing with me. I may not have won a seat at the table, but my commitment to serving Waitākere remains as strong as ever.
Let’s continue to work together — with kindness, unity, and a shared vision — to keep our community strong, inclusive, and forward-moving.
This isn’t the end of my journey in community service — it’s merely a new beginning.
Ngā mihi nui,
Rizwan Ahmed QURESHI
