Russell Norman enter's parliament

STUFF.CO.NZ/NZPA: Green Party co-leader Russel Norman has been declared elected to Parliament.

Dr Norman replaces Nandor Tanczos, who gave his valedictory speech to Parliament yesterday.

Mr Tanczos was a list MP, and initially intended to quit politics at the election later this year.

He left early so Dr Norman could become an MP ahead of the election campaign.

The chief electoral officer today declared Dr Norman from Wellington elected to Parliament from the Green Party list.

Dr Norman is due to be sworn in on Tuesday.
