IronMāori founder Heather Skipworth has dropped out as the Māori Party candidate for Tukituki.
Ms Skipworth was named as the candidate at the start of the month, after stepping aside in Ikaroa-Rawhiti for Labour Party defector and incumbent Meka Whairiti.
She told Hawke’s Bay Today she will not contest the Hastings to Waipawa electorate for personal reasons.
She says she turns 50 this week, she’s about to launch a consultancy business, and she is continuing to develop the IronMāori Kaupapa.
