On September 6 the Tāmaki Makaurau by-election will be held. It was triggered by the passing of Takutai Tarsh Kemp of Te Pāti Māori.
She beat Labour's Peeni Henare by only 42 votes in 2023 - and he is back to contest the seat along with former broadcaster Oriini Kaipara, Vision New Zealand's Hannah Tamaki, Sherry-Lee Matene as an independent and New Zealand Loyal's Kelvyn Alp.
Peeni Henare speaks to Mihingarangi about his vision for the electorate.
