Green Party Won’t Contest Tāmaki Makaurau By-Election
After careful consideration, the Green Party will not stand a candidate in the upcoming Tāmaki Makaurau by-election.
"Our decision not to run a candidate in the Tāmaki Makaurau by-election reflects a combination of factors, most pertinently, the responsible use of our resources at this time," says Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson.
“The Green Party remains fully committed to advocating for people and our planet throughout Aoteaora, including in Tāmaki Makaurau. We will continue our flaxroots origins as a community-led party.
“We thank our supporters and members for understanding this decision.
“The Green Party acknowledges the important mahi of our friend Takutai Tarsh Kemp in the Tāmaki Makaurau electorate. Tarsh stood as strong as she did with humility for the electorate, and for te iwi Māori. This will not be forgotten.
“We encourage whānau in the Tāmaki Makaurau electorate to get out and have their voices heard on who will next represent them in parliament ” says Marama Davidson.
