Incumbent mayor Tim Shadbolt had been elected in a 1993 by-election as a result of the death of Eve Poole in 1992. His re-election bid was unsuccessful, with ILT chairman David Harrington getting more than double his number of votes. This was seen as part of a wave of conservatism in the south. With 50% of the vote counted, Shadbolt conceded at 7 pm that night. [1] After his loss Shadbolt promised to run again in the next election.
