Toitu te Tiriti activist Eru Kapa-Kingi has doubled down on claiming Te Pati Maori has dictatorship-style decision making
20 October 2025
Te Pati Maori this month emailed supporters documents appearing to include an allegation he'd threatened Parliament staff.
They also revealed his mother, MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi had been warned against potentially overspending her office budget.
Kapa-Kingi, says the email contained false allegations he believes are a direct retaliation to him speaking out about the Party leadership.
He says claiming he was dismissed for misconduct is embarrassing for Te Pati Maori -- and unprofessional.
He says people should reconsider the Party's leadership.
