Marama Fox has resigned as co-leader of the Māori Party.
The Māori Party executive today issued a statement saying it had received and accepted Fox's resignation from the position of co-leader.
Fox has been tied up in controversy over the past few weeks after a consultancy company she set up less than a year ago owes was put into liquidation, owing creditors at least $70,000.
Māori Party president Che Wilson said Fox made a "significant contribution" to the party over the years.
"Marama has been a dedicated advocate for social justice issues, particularly related to family violence.
