New Zealand’s High Court ruled on March 10, 2026, that the expulsion of MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi from Te Pāti Māori was unlawful and ordered her reinstatement.
On March 10, 2026, New Zealand’s High Court ruled that the expulsion of MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi from Te Pāti Māori was unlawful, ordering her immediate reinstatement.
The court found the party’s disciplinary process violated its constitution and tikanga by excluding Kapa-Kingi from key decisions, denying her chance to respond, and failing to consult her electorate council.
While the court upheld the validity of John Tamihere’s re-election as party president, it ruled the expulsion process flawed.
Kapa-Kingi, the party’s candidate for Te Tai Tokerau, can now attend caucus meetings and full party activities.
Te Pāti Māori acknowledged the decision, stating it would respect the ruling and focus on its core mission of advancing Māori rights and Treaty of Waitangi issues.
