The National Party has confirmed it will "work towards" standing candidates in the seven Māori electorates in 2023.
The Party stopped standing candidates in the Māori seats in 2005, when the party was lead by former MP Don Brash.
Leader Judith Collins confirmed the change in an announcement shortly after midday, during the Party's caucus retreat in Wellington.
Emma Hatton spoke with political commentator Dr Rawiri Taonui, who says it's an attempt to rectify the party's lack of diversity.
