Election 2020: Māori Party likely winner in Waiariki

From Morning Report, 7:55 am on 19 October 2020

The Māori Party are almost through the doors and back in Parliament thanks to Rawiri Waititi's nail-biting lead in Wairaiki.

Waititi is only 415 votes ahead and incumbent Labour MP Tamati Coffey won't stand down before the special votes are counted.

Waititi and fellow Māori Party member John Tamihere have both declined to appear on the programme.

Hone Harawira is the leader of the Mana Movement and a former Māori Party MP.

He speaks to Corin Dann.
