flag Te Pāti Māori MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi, reinstated by court, says party leaders ignored her, demanding accountability and a special meeting.

flag Te Pāti Māori MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi, reinstated after a High Court ruled her suspension unlawful, says she hasn’t spoken with party leadership since returning to Parliament. flag She received only a brief text from co-leader Rāwiri Waititi proposing a 10-minute call that never happened, and no contact with president John Tamihere since November 2025. flag Kapa-Kingi called the silence “deafening,” criticized the lack of accountability, and urged a Special General Meeting, citing 55 pages of evidence backing the court’s decision. flag While her electorate executive supports her, her standing within the party remains uncertain. flag She emphasized her commitment to Te Tai Tokerau, noting the personal toll of the conflict and calling for better leadership and reconciliation. flag The party has not commented further.
