Marshal Ahluwalia

Two Auckland councillors have called on a Manurewa Local Board member to resign following accusations of financial intimidation and corruption that have been referred to the Serious Fraud Office.

Marshal Ahluwalia, who won a seat on the Manurewa Local Board with the highest number of votes in the 2025 election, is under scrutiny following a video alleging misconduct linked to his earlier role as operations manager at a freight transport company in 2024.

The video suggests Ahluwalia asked a contractor to make payments in exchange for being allocated more work and requested a donation towards his 2025 local government campaign.
