Second NZ First resignation

Another key figure in New Zealand First is stepping down.

Following the resignation of party president Doug Woolerton, treasurer Kay Urlich has decided against standing for another term in office. Both have held their respective positions for the past 12 years.

Ms Urlich said her departure had nothing to do with discontent over the party's decision to be in government or leader Winston Peters' new role as foreign affairs minister.

"Definitely no ill feeling and no dramas," she said.
