Raihania lays down the gauntlet

Na Raihania, Candidate for Ikaroa Rawhiti

"Since the debate at Gisborne Boys High School there has been very little else for our Ikaroa Rawhiti voters to gauge who they might vote for in the Ikaroa Rawhiti electorate on Saturday" says Na Raihania, candidate for Ikaroa Rawhiti - and chomping at the bit to contest the electorate vote.

"It has been frustrating that Parekura, Tawhai and I cannot seem to get together to debate our policies for the next three years. The Ikaroa Rawhiti voters deserve the chance to hear what we have to offer and in particular to advance the korero from our one and only debate on Maori TV".

"The voters are calling for such a debate and as candidates it is our duty to front up to the people.

"On Thursday 24th Radio Ngati Porou has kindly offered to host a show that allows us the opportunity to talk with the people about the future of Maoridom. All we have to do is to turn up 10am Thursday morning in Ruatorea.

"I look forward to giving the voters an opportunity to hear more about the Maori Party - our vision, our policies and our plans for future. Can't wait!"
