Retiring Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel says she's been taken aback by some candidates' actions in the lead up to the elections.

Mayoral hopeful Phil Mauger has donated to some city council candidates. 

He's endorsed four out of 13, all running as as independents or under the right-leaning Independent Citizens banner.

Dalziel told Newstalk ZB's Canterbury Mornings she's never donated to individual campaigns, nor endorsed candidates.

She says the decision on who is elected lies with the public.
