Fledgling politician John Minto will be in Dunedin today and will attend several events to switch voters on to the policies of the Hone Harawira-led Mana Party.
Mr Minto, who is better known for his involvement with the Halt All Racist Tours (Hart) movement and its opposition to the 1981 Springbok Tour, joined the Mana Party in May.
He is the co-vice-president of Mana, alongside Annette Sykes, and he is also the political party's economic policy spokesman.
Mr Minto will take part in the University of Otago-hosted Vote Chat series at 2pm - an ongoing political forum, which is organised by Otago political commentator Dr Bryce Edwards.
Mr Minto will visit Forbury School this morning, before meeting employees at the Hillside Engineering Workshops in South Dunedin.
The Manakau East candidate will be the most senior ranked member of the party at Mana's Dunedin launch, which takes place at 6pm in the Octagon.
Mr Minto will also meet supporters of the Occupy Octagon movement, who remain camped out in tents in the city centre as a means of peaceful protest against the unequal distribution of global wealth.
