Xenophon selects running mate for election

INDEPENDENT senator Nick Xenophon has selected his running mate for the federal election - his campaign manager.

Stirling Griff will be in the number two spot underneath Senator Xenophon for the Nick Xenophon Group on September 7.

Under new rules agreed to by both major parties, a running mate is required to ensure minor parties and independents are listed above the line on the huge Senate ballot paper.

Mr Griff has a business background, previously working as a retail industry consultant and as the chief executive of the South Australian branch of the Australian Retailers Association.

He is currently Senator Xenophon's campaign manager, and says it is "crucial" he is re-elected to the Senate seat he won in 2007.

"Nick stands up for what counts to South Australians," Mr Griff said.

"It's crucial that he is re-elected to the Senate, so I'll be doing all I can to help get him over the line."

Senator Xenophon says Mr Griff is a long-time friend.

"I have known Stirling since first entering state parliament in 1997 and am thrilled that he has accepted my invitation to be my running mate," he said.

"We are both passionate about South Australia and he is a fantastic ally.

"Stirling is someone who I trust completely, given our long-standing professional association and personal friendship."
