An ex-Māori party co-leader suspects problems within the current cohort as an influential former supporter cut ties.  

Toitū Te Tiriti's Eru Kapa-Kingi's described the party's leadership as "effectively a dictatorship model".   

The party's emailed members overnight, saying it remains committed to transparency, accountability, and unity. 

Former co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell told Mike Hosking he's not close to the leadership but based on the last few weeks there could be issues.
