/u/Fresh3001 addressed the media alongside National Party leader and opposition partner /u/dyljam today, to announce their candidate for the Te Pōti Māori by-election.

"Ah yeah, gidday. /u/dyljam and I are proud to announce that the Opposition will be standing behind a sole candidate in the Te Pōti Māori by-election, /u/Ninjjadragon. In the previous general election neither ACT nor National stood a candidate in Te Pōti Māori as we believed that the Māori Party would do a good job in representing the electorate should they be elected. The Labour Party won, and barely halfway through /u/crisisday's term he abandoned the people he was meant to represent. Barely halfway through the Māori Party's term in opposition, /u/AnswerMeNow1 abandoned the people he was meant to represent too - the Māori people. /u/AnswerMeNow1 couldn't be bothered fulfilling his duty as the Opposition Māori Affairs Shadow Minister so he quit.

"This coming by-election there is only one real choice if the people of Te Pōti Māori want a real MP to really represent them - that being /u/Ninjjadragon of the National Party. The other choices are either a candidate from a government whose MP abandoned Te Pōti Māori, or a candidate from a party whose leader abandoned the Māori people. Vote /u/Ninjjadragon to have an MP that actually gives a damn."
