A senior member of Labour's ruling council has put his name forward to be president, pledging to unite the party and learn from its mishandling of sexual assault complaints.
Labour's Maori Senior Vice President Tane Phillips told RNZ he wants the top job - left vacant after Nigel Haworth resigned in September.
Mr Haworth stepped down after Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern conceded the party had made mistakes in its investigation into serious allegations against a former staffer.
Mr Phillips spoke to RNZ's deputy political editor Craig McCulloch.
