Labour MP Adrian Rurawhe has announced his plan to retire from politics.
After a decade as an MP, which saw him serve as the Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2022 and 2023, Rurawhe said he would be leaving parliament in just a few weeks, finishing on Waitangi Day.
Rurawhe is a list MP, but had previously been the MP for Te Tai Hauāuru. His retirement would make way for Georgie Dansey to enter parliament as the next list MP for Labour.
“Over the summer break I’ve been thinking about different kaupapa, mostly whānau and church. Retiring now will allow me to be more involved – which I’m very much looking forward to,” Rurawhe said, in a statement announcing his resignation.
