Projected seats
Seat projection →Across the simulations Te Pāti Māori takes 6 seats, and is in the House in 100% of runs. It sits below 5% on the party vote but holds electorate seats, so the electorate lifeboat keeps it in.

Campaign advertising
Advertising spend →Declared donations
Electoral Commission →In 2025 Te Pāti Māori declared $77,500 in donations over $5,000 with the donor named — from 3 donors. Donations at or below that are real money but are disclosed only as a total, so this is a floor, not the whole.
Largest donors
- John Tamahere$60,000
- Blythe Cowrie$10,000
- Te Kotahi Rau Club$7,500
This return was filed as a scanned image with no text layer, so its Part A donors were read by eye from the rendered form. They reconcile to the cent against the return's own printed Part A total.
