This weekend people from all across Tai Tokerau will gather in Kaikohe for a hui with MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi.
She was expelled from Te Pāti Māori alongside Te Tai Tonga MP Tākutai Ferris last week.
The hui was called by Ngāpuhi in the hope the national leadership of Te Pāti Māori would attend.
But the party declined the invite.
Te Tumu Whakahaere, or general manager, of Te Rūnanga-ā- iwi o Ngāpuhi Moana Tuwhare speaks to Paddy Gower about her hopes for the hui.
