Te Pāti Māori MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi will soon be suspended by her party, according to reports.
Meanwhile, other members in the party are reportedly moving against the party’s president John Tamihere, readying a bid to topple him.
Waatea News reports the party held a national council hui last Thursday, which passed a motion to suspend Kapa-Kingi. The party also passed a motion to look at the best way to give effect to the suspension.
This would mean Kapa-Kingi sitting as an independent in Parliament.
Speaking to 1News, Kapa-Kingi said the news was “a real disappointment”.
“They continue to prove the point of dysfunction.”
She claimed her Te Tai Tokerau electorate committee was not invited to attend Thursday’s meeting and had not been afforded a right of reply.
“As far as I’m concerned, this so-called suspension, it has no mana.”
