Te Pāti Māori announce new Te Tai Tokerau candidate

Te Pāti Māori announced:

“Following the decision by Mariameno Kapa-Kingi not to rejoin the Te Pāti Māori caucus, the party has selected a new candidate for Te Tai Tokerau”, said Te Pāti Māori President John Tamihere.

“We are absolutely determined to hold the existing six Māori seats, and hopefully also win Ikaroa-Rawhiti. Only by doing so, can we guarantee the end of this racist corrupt Government”, said Tamihere.

“Our new candidate has spent most of his life fighting against colonialism and corruption. He has a great love for the outdoors and the conservation estate. He will be a forceful voice against injustice. We look forward to David Tamihere winning the seat for us in November 2026″ concluded Tamihere.”
