While disappointed with the overall result Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei and Louisa Wall of Labour are adamant they are prepared to be effective and work hard for their supporters.
Joining Mihingarangi Forbes and Maiki Sherman in the Kōwhiri 14 Te Whakatau special the Māori politicians discussed what lies ahead for them and their parties.
With 100 percent of the voting booths counted and special vote counts yet to come in, the Green Party currently have 13 seats in Parliament and Louisa Wall is back in Parliament with Labour.
