Vision Party leader Hannah Tamaki will stand in the Waiariki seat in this year's election.
In a media interview, Tamaki says Labour has had its turn, the Māori Party has had its turn, now "it's my turn with Te Waiariki."
She says there is a new breed of politicians on the rise, one that keeps promises, with totally new and innovative solutions for Māori.
Tamaki is also the wife of Destiny Church's Bishop Brian Tamaki.
