flag New Zealand's Māori Party faces turmoil after co-leaders expelled two MPs, sparking a legal challenge and threatening its unity ahead of the election.

flag New Zealand's Māori Party is engulfed in a major internal crisis after co-leaders expelled MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris in November 2025 over alleged constitutional breaches. flag The ousted MPs, who represent one-third of the party’s caucus, claim the expulsion was unlawful and have launched a court challenge, seeking an interim injunction to contest the decision. flag Party president John Tamihere denies allegations of authoritarian behavior, while the party prepares for an annual meeting where a no-confidence motion against him may be introduced. flag The conflict, rooted in leadership disputes and differing visions for the party’s direction, has raised questions about its unity and political influence, especially as it weighs supporting the opposition Labour Party in the upcoming election.
