A meeting between Te Pāti Māori and the National Iwi Chairs Forum has resulted in two key outcomes.

The hui was called after infighting, which saw the Te Tai Tonga electorate call for Party President John Tamihere's resignation.

He responded by suggesting MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris should resign.

Forum spokesperson Bayden Barber says the party's leadership has agreed to a truce on the attacks on social media. 

"The second one was an agreement to meet at a marae in Wellington to work through the issues."

Barber says they now need to meet with Kapa-Kingi and Ferris to get the same type of agreement.
