The father of Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi has died in the Bay of Plenty.
Waititi posted the news to his official Facebook account this afternoon.
The politician's mother died last year after she lost a battle to illness.
Waititi's father will lay at his Otamaroa homestead overnight and then will lie in state at Kauaetangohia tomorrow until his burial on Monday.
