RADIO NEW ZEALAND: National has picked a farmer with a legal background as its candidate for the South Island seat of Selwyn, after a failed legal challenge over the selection process.
Amy Adams, 36, won the nomination in a second selection process after the original candidate, MP David Carter, opted to stand aside in favour of running on the party list alone.
A legal challenge by an unsucessful candidate, who was blocked by the board of the National Party, was thrown out of court earlier in May.
Mrs Adams is a mother of two and runs a 600-acre farm with her husband. She was previously a partner in a Christchurch law firm.
