 | | Henare, Morgan, and Waitai were previously members of the so-called "tight five", New Zealand First's group of Maori MPs. |
 | | (The other two members of the "tight five", Tu Wyllie and Tuariki Delamere, were not involved with Mauri Pacific - Wyllie had remained with New Zealand First, and Delamere eventually joined the small Te Tawharau party.) Because it was led by these three MPs, Mauri Pacific was considered by many to be a Maori party. |
