The NZ First leader says he'll campaign on letting people choose whether to keep Maori electorates.
Peters says his Party will get a chance to push the policy after the election.
Opposition parties are denouncing the his call.
Senior National MP, Nicola Willis, says the issue hasn't been a priority for them - and caucus will need to discuss it before taking a position.
Peters' policy has been called-out by Opposition parties.
