The tenure of Benedict Ong as a city Councillor in Dunedin has brought more disruption than progress. His series of bizarre publicity stunts have not only embarrassed our city but have also hindered the effective operations of the Dunedin City Council (DCC). Rather than being a unifying force, Councillor Ong has relentlessly pushed agendas that seemed to serve no purpose other than to divide the community.

The citizens of Dunedin deserve elected representatives who can uphold the dignity and purpose of their role. Councillor Ong has repeatedly failed to meet the standards expected of a public servant. His actions have only detracted from rather than contributed to the welfare and development of Dunedin.

It's essential for the progress and harmonious functioning of our council that we reconsider Councillor Ong's role. A public vote of no confidence will demonstrate that his actions do not reflect the values of Dunedin's people. This expression will not only safeguard the integrity of our city council but also ensure that our city moves forward under capable and committed leadership.

Now is the time to make a change. We urge the DCC to hold a public vote of no confidence in Councillor Benedict Ong, reflecting the will of the people who entrusted him with this responsibility. Our call for accountability and transparency within our local government is not just a demand but a necessity for the health of our city's political landscape.

Sign this petition today to voice your demand for responsible, transparent, and dignified service from your elected representatives. Together, let's ensure that Dunedin remains a city that we are proud to call home. Let our collective voice pave the way to better leadership in Dunedin. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to hold our representatives accountable. Stand with us in making this crucial change for the betterment of our cherished city's future.
