Green MP Elizabeth Kerekere has ruled herself out of running for the party co-leadership

It leaves James Shaw as the current sole contender.

He was forced to re-stand for the role after failing to get the 75-percent support needed to retain the position at the party's AGM.

Kerekere says after discussions with whanau, party members and caucus colleagues, she's opted not to stand for the job.

But she says the vote shows the need to listen to members who have clearly signalled a desire for accountability from co-leaders.
