Kerekere said in her statement that "like many of my fellow MPs, I received many messages following the AGM; asking me to stand and some members asking me to support other candidates".
"I have taken the time to reflect and discuss with my whānau, party members and Caucus colleagues once we were all in a clearer head space before making any decisions regarding the outcome of recent events.
"Having done so, I will not be running for co-leader of the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand in this election."
