They are incumbent councillor Steve Walker and Jett Groshinski, who at present holds the post of political representative at the Otago University Students’ Association (OUSA).
A statement from the Labour Party yesterday said that there had been a "a robust and considered selection process".
Cr Walker, who was first elected to the council in 2019, had served two successful terms as a Labour-endorsed councillor, the statement said.
Mr Groshinski, a former mayoral and council candidate in the 2022 elections, was actively involved in community advocacy, with a focus on student wellbeing, accessible public transport and creating inclusive civic spaces, the statement said.
"Southern Labour is confident that both candidates bring the experience, passion and progressive values needed to represent the diverse voices of Dunedin and build a fairer, more sustainable city for all," it said.
In 2022, Labour endorsed Cr Walker and Mosgiel-Taieri Community Board chairwoman Joy Davis, who was unsuccessful in her bid to join the council. — APL
