The ACT Party is concerned about a new local Government which would require councils consider adding Māori wards or constituencies.

Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta has introduced a policy which would make it the first priority during their regular representation reviews each six months.

He says councils will feel pressured to implement them even if they don't want to.
