Te Tai Tokerau MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi says she isn't going anywhere.

Te Pāti Māori's President, John Tamihere, has suggested she and Te Tai Tonga MP, Takuta Ferris, should resign from the Party.

That's his response to a petition launched by 'Te Tai Tonga Executive'  - calling for his resignation. 

He's accusing the two MPs of avarice and entitlement, referencing Hone Harawira’s split from the Party in 2011 - and telling them to do the "honourable thing'.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper recaps the ongoing saga.
