Te Ururoa Flavell: former Te Pāti Māori co-leader on Te Pāti Māori ousting Tākuta Ferris and Mariameno Kapa-Kingi - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

A sense the fall-out isn't over, after Te Pāti Māori's National Council has ejected two MPs from the party.

Tākuta Ferris and Mariameno Kapa-Kingi are calling it unconstitutional, and will sit as independents in Parliament for now.

It's after weeks of party in-fighting playing out in public.

The party's co-leaders say they haven't considered invoking the waka-jumping law, but didn't rule it out.  

Former co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell says that seems to be the leadership's intention.

"I still think there's a little bit of water to go under the bridge as yet - I understand there may well be some sort of legal challenges to process."
