Auckland's mayoral race is heating up after Leo Malloy surprised everyone by dropping out on Friday.
The latest Auckland Ratepayers Alliance poll, which was conducted before Malloy dropped out, has Labour's Efeso Collins leading with businessman Wayne Brown and former Heart of the City chief executive Viv Beck trailing behind him.
Nearly half of those who responded to the poll were still undecided and there are 19 other candidates vying for the top job.
Since the poll was made public there have been calls for either Beck or Brown to also stand aside so the right leaning support could swing behind one candidate.
Viv Beck joins us tonight.
