Jason Walls: ZB Political Editor on Kiri Allan confirming she won't stand for re-election - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Kiri Allan has confirmed she won't be standing for re-election.

The East Coast MP signalled she was quitting politics in an emotional post - saying she let down the Labour Party, the Prime Minister and New Zealanders.

ZB political editor Jason Walls says he wouldn't bet on Kiri Allan returning to politics, as it's hard to return once you're out.
