Tākuta Ferris, who was ousted from Te Pāti Māori in 2025, has officially announced his intention to stand as an independent candidate in a Māori seat for the 2026 New Zealand election, following a period of internal party conflict.

Te Pāti Māori has unveiled its election strategy in Gisborne, urging supporters to vote for candidates to 'bring this government to its knees'.

Newly reinstated Te Pāti Māori MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi has stated she has not yet received an apology from party leaders, following months of internal conflicts and a High Court battle.

An opinion piece suggests that Te Pāti Māori's Mixed-member proportional representation (MMP) strategy is a clever move that could potentially help the Labour party and the left win power.

Former Te Pāti Māori president Che Wilson has apologized to the Sikh community for a haka performed last month that appeared to mock Indian cultural practices.

The MP is officially back in Te Pāti Māori after a High Court decision.

An opinion piece discusses how Te Pāti Māori's electorate vote gambit could potentially lead to the downfall of the Māori seats, arguing that the overhang mechanism was not intended to deliberately skew election results.

A haka performed by a former Te Pāti Māori president, targeting ACT MP Parmjeet Parmar, has caused controversy. The haka included a phrase interpreted as a derogatory reference to Indians and gestures referencing cultural practices.
