Harry Duynhoven makes history in New Plymouth Mayoral world

From the Taranaki Daily News on October 12: "New Plymouth Mayor Harry Duynhoven has been dumped in humiliating fashion. The one term mayor was soundly beaten at the polls by two term councillor Andrew Judd, who secured 16,883 votes to Mr Duynhoven's 7677. His dumping after three years means he is the first New Plymouth mayor since Edward Hill in 1956 to be ousted after one term." [15]
