Bill English's campaign stop at a Blenheim cafe has been gatecrashed by the local Labour candidate - who approached the National Party leader before he made a swift exit.
Janette Walker, Labour's Kaikoura candidate, works across the road from the BV Deli and when she saw the police cars accompanying English decided to pop across and have a word.

After speaking to media she approached English, who said hello.
English told Walker it was good to meet her.
