Labour Party president Nigel Haworth is the first political casualty of the Labour sex allegations scandal - tendering his resignation today, effective immediately.
The Labour Party and the Prime Minister have been under intense pressure this week, over their handling of allegations against a Labour staffer.
The turning point for Mr Haworth was on Wednesday morning when Jacinda Ardern received correspondence the complainants had sent to the party some months ago.
RNZ political editor, Jane Patterson, filed this report.
