   The result of the by-election in Te Tai Tokerau electorate 1 yesterday was a win for Hone Harawira. Kelvin Davis, Labour, was second with 867 fewer votes than Hone. The Maori Party candidate was third.


  Hone says this is a win for the new Mana Party but the Prime Minister, John Key, didn’t think it was a win. In the 2008 election Hone won by 6308 votes so he has lost a lot of support. At that time, he belonged to the Maori Party but he left the Maori Party and formed the Mana Party.
  John Key said the by-election was a waste of time because the general election will be held in just 5 months. It also cost a lot of money – about half a million dollars – to hold a by-election.
  Hone is the only MP of the Mana Party. It will be interesting to see if he is able to do anything in Parliament with a party of just one person.
  Listen to May 11th 2011 to hear more about this.
