???1;Te Pati Maori's leadership has agreed to meet with its MPs, following internal clashes within the party

The party's Te Tai Tonga electorate executive has demanded Party President John Tamihere resign, and he's responded by calling for MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Takuta Ferris to step aside.

The party leadership has now committed to a meeting at a Wellington marae to work through issues, following a hui with the National Iwi Chairs Forum.

The forum's spokesperson - Ngati Kahungunu Chair Bayden Barber - says there's more work to do.

He says they haven't landed a date or a place yet, and they need to get Kapa-Kingi and Ferris to also agree to the meeting.
