A meeting between battling factions in Te Pāti Māori's closer to being a reality.

The party's faced weeks of turmoil and infighting, culminating in party president John Tamihere calling for the resignation of MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris.

The party's leadership has agreed to a meeting next week to work through the issues with its MPs.

Iwi leaders met with Takuta Ferris today.

Ngāti Kahungunu chair Bayden Barber says Ferris has agreed to attend, but he's yet to hear from Kapa-Kingi.

"There's still a glimmer of hope, and that's what we're latching on to. We've asked to bring our huis at the marae, if we can get there before it all falls to bits, that would be the best outcome."
