UPDATED 10.52AM: Te Ururoa Flavell bid a tearful farewell night as the Māori Party were completely wiped out from parliament in last night's election.

The Labour Party won all Māori seats, with political newcomer and former TV weatherman Tamati Coffey unseating Flavell in a tight race in Wairiki.

Without the Wairiki seat, and with only 1.1 percent of the party vote, the Māori Party fell well below the 5 percent threshold for keeping any list MPs.

Māori Party co-leader Marama Fox failed to secure Ikaroa-Rāwhiti against Labour's Meka Whaitiri.

Fox said the Māori Party worked with National for the sake of progress, not protest.

"This country is really going to understand what it's like again not to have an independent voice for Māoridom in parliament ready to be pragmatic, ready to work together."

"There is no guarantee that the rights and interests of Maori will be upheld now in either one of these parties." 

Flavell all but conceded to Coffey in an emotional speech to his supporters where he told the crowd "I'm coming home".

Through tears Flavell told the equally emotional supporters, some who were holding their heads in their hands crying, that he was sad and felt Māori had now lost their voice in Parliament.

"Tomorrow when you wake up there are likely to be seven seats back in the hands of Labour who are likely to be in opposition. So don't tangi back to me."

"I feel heavy at heart but the people have spoken, even in Waiariki they have spoken and I can't get away from that."
