National leader Simon Bridges has confirmed that his party voted unanimously to expel Jami-Lee Ross from their caucus.
Bridges refutes the allegations made by Ross regarding the electoral law breaches, saying they are "baseless" and "false".
He also says Ross' behaviour, lies and leaks are "entirely unacceptable".
Bridges reaffirmed that Ross will no longer be part of their caucus moving forward, declaring that National is "resolutely, strong - united and focussed on the things that matter to New Zealand."
