Afnan Al-Rubayee

Candidate for Pukehīnau/Lambton Ward on Wellington City Council

Meet Afnan Al-Rubayee


We need a city built for people, with communities shaping decisions, not just responding to them.


I’m a public servant with a background in NGOs and grassroots community organising. I came to Wellington as a refugee, grew up in public housing, and now rent in the heart of the city. Because of those experiences I stand for inclusive, community-led change.

 

My focus is on:

  • Affordable, reliable transport options for everyone, whether you walk, bike, bus, or drive
  • Investing in infrastructure, from pipes to community facilities, and keeping it in public hands
  • A Council that listens to communities and provides solid governance for our city

I’m committed to creating a city where young people can build their futures with good jobs, affordable housing, and opportunities to thrive. Wellington has incredible potential. I’m standing to create a bold and fair future, built together.
