Nearly-naked lawmaker runs thru town
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) -- Green Party lawmaker Keith Locke delivered on a bold election promise Sunday when he ran almost naked down one of the busiest streets of New Zealand's largest city.
Clad only in briefs and body paint, Locke dashed along Broadway in Auckland's upscale business district of Newmarket while shoppers giggled and television cameras rolled.
Locke had pledged before New Zealand's general election on September 17 that he would run naked down Broadway if right-wing candidate Rodney Hide was returned to Parliament in the Auckland electorate of Epsom.Opinion polls showed Hide well behind National Party candidate Richard Worth but on election day Hide won the seat to give his ACT Party its only Parliamentary representative.
Locke carried through on his election promise Sunday, stripping down to a pair of swimming trunks and a thin coat of body paint which made it look like he was wearing a suit.
"I had to do it," Locke said. "The Greens keep their promises."
Local businessmen cleared the sidewalk for Locke's solo dash and considerately removed pavement advertising which threatened to impede his progress.
