NZ politician to run naked through streets after rival elected
New Zealand MP to make naked dash


A New Zealand politician who pledged to run naked through the street if a rival candidate won Saturday's election has promised to keep his word.

Green Party MP Keith Locke had pledged to strip off in his Epsom constituency if Act Party leader Rodney Hide won the Auckland seat.

Seen as a long-shot, Mr Hide surprised pundits by winning a big majority.

Mr Locke said the Greens were a party of their word, and he did not want to break an election promise.
