Pōti17: Waiariki electorate race Flavell vs Coffey heats up |
|
Now to our special Pōti17 report. Today we take a look at the Waiariki electorate. It's the only seat of the seven to be held by another party other than Labour. The Māori Party's co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell has fought off other candidates over the last twelve years to hold the seat. However this year local Rotorua businessman and former tv star Tamati Coffey has thrown his hat in the ring taking on the big task of trying to make a change. Rapaera Tawhai with this report.
