TPM suspends an MP

Waatea News reports:

That the Te Tai Tokerau Electorate Executive be reset by way of a Special General Meeting, on the basis that the Electorate Executive is no longer functioning in accordance with Party requirements and the Kawa.

This is basically head office sacking the local electorate committee because they don’t support head office.

That the Te Tai Tokerau MP be suspended.

This is a step towards deselection.

Waatea understands that all four resolutions were passed by the Members present  (Agreed: Tāmaki Makaurau, Hauraki-Waikato, Waiariki, Ikaroa-Rāwhiti, Te Tai Hauāuru) with one Abstenation (Te Tai Tonga).

So it is a 5-2 split.
