Maori Party Co-Leader Tariana
Turia is expected to be comfortably elected today to the
seat of Te Tai Hauauru in a by-election sparked by her
resignation from Parliament on April 30th. Ms Turia is
facing no serious opposition in her bid to regain her seat
and the major news of this evening is expected to be news of
the turnout.
