Maori Party president Tukoroirangi Morgan on Paakiwaha
He's just been announced at the Maori Party hui a tau as the Maori Party's new president following Rangimarie Naida Glavish's decision not to stand again but Tukoroirangi Morgan has already got next years general elections in sight by tackling the party’s Hone Harawira problem.
He says vote splitting between the Maori and Mana parties allowed Labour to win back three Maori seats at the last election.
He wants to turn that around next year.
He told Radio Waatea host Willie Jackson he’s talked with the Mana leader after his election at the weekend.
He’s also heard from a number of Maori and mainstream corporate leaders since his election, and he’s confident he can put together a sizeable war chest for next year’s campaign.
