It's a long way out from the next general election, but the Maori Party is already making clear its position on political alliances.

The idea of whether the party could merge with another has been floated today at its Annual General Meeting in Huntly, and at a hui at Ohaaki marae.

Māori Party President Naida Glavish states that they have made their decision.

Ms Glavish has said the Maori party is willing to work with any political movement, but will not be merging with any other party.
