Te Pāti Māori's Aperahama Edwards (top left) joins the Greens Hūhana Lyndon (top right), Labour's Willow-Jean Prime (lower left) and Te Tai Tokerau party's Mariameno Kapa-Kingi in contesting the Te Tai Tokerau seat.
The race for Te Tai Tokerau is on, with Te Pāti Māori confirming its candidate in the hotly contested seat.
Aperahama Edwards joins Labour's Willow-Jean Prime, the Greens Hūhana Lyndon and newly formed Te Tai Tokerau party's Mariameno Kapa-Kingi - who recently split from Te Pāti Māori after being expelled then reinstated.
It makes for a tight race, just five months out from the election.
RNZ spoke to the candidates following Te Pāti Māori's announcement.
