National's Jacqui Dean is keeping mum on her role in a leadership stoush that saw Christopher Luxon take over as party leader.
The Waitaki MP – who's spent a quarter of a century in politics – announced today she's retiring at the next election.
It comes after she was caught up in a messy saga last year – when ex-leader Judith Collins used a historical complaint by Dean to demote Simon Bridges.

Pressed on the matter by Heather Du Plessis-Allan, Dean wasn't giving much away.
“I have regrets about lots of things.”
