Grey Power Tararua is disappointed Wairarapa MP John Hayes failed to show at a public meeting for election candidates this week.
The meeting had been rescheduled as Mr Hayes and Labour candidate Michael Bott were unable to attend on an earlier date.
President Ivan Johanson said the meeting was rescheduled to Tuesday and all candidates re-invited.
Mr Johanson said he was disappointed the MP did not make the meeting as all other candidates did.
Mr Hayes said he was campaigning in a different part of the electorate and had only been given two days from the time of the second invitation.
