Mahara Okeroa acknowledges the sudden passing of Monte Ohia
MP for Te Tai Tonga, Hon Mahara Okeroa, has expressed his deep sorrow at the sudden passing of Monte Ohia, Maori Party candidate for Te Tai Tonga today.
"I offer my sincerest condolences to his wife, Linda, their children, whanau, close friends and Maori Party colleagues at this sad time," Mahara Okeroa said.
"I have known Monte for many years and he was a man of great humility. Monte was a formidable candidate in the 2005 election campaign".
