In a post on Monday, president John Tamihere challenged two MPs to resign if they were unhappy with the party’s direction.
The party president accused two MPs of plotting a leadership coup and said they should ‘do the honourable thing’ and resign – though many members say it’s he who should go.
John Tamihere and the TPM co-leaders are expected to meet with the forum on Tuesday.
In a scathing online post, the party president says Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris should “do the honourable thing” and start their own political party.
