Christchurch's mayor is keeping mum about seeking re-election. 

First time mayor Phil Mauger took the reins in 2022 after narrowly beating former health boss David Meates. 

City Councillor Sara Templeton has announced her bid for mayor a year out from local body elections. 

Mauger wouldn’t confirm to John MacDonald whether he's decided to run. 

He says there's a lot going on, so he'll worry about it after Christmas. 

They also discussed his interview with Jack Tame on Q&A and if he really believes his comments about not breaking promises to ratepayers.
