Embattled Wellington mayoral candidate Ray Chung is refusing to pull out of the race, despite being ditched by a major financial backer.
It comes after the Herald revealed Chung sent emails detailing an unsavoury sexual rumour about Mayor Tory Whanau – rumours she's categorically denied.
The scandal has led to high-profile Wellington philanthropist Sir Mark Dunajtschik withdrawing his support for Chung’s campaign.
Despite this, Chung told Ryan Bridge empathically he's not backing out of the race, saying that's absolutely not his plan.
He’s also accusing one of the three colleagues he sent the email to of leaking it to Whanau.
He says he can't say for sure who it was... but says he could have a guess.
Chung would not, however say which of the three he was accusing of the leak.
