Māori Party co-leaders Pita Sharples (left) and Tariana Turia sign a confidence and supply agreement with National Prime Minister John Key in 2008. The Māori Party was formed in 2004 following the resignation of Turia, then a government minister, from the Labour Party. The Māori Party (later Te Pāti Māori) won four seats in the 2005 general election and gave its support to National-led governments after the 2008, 2011 and 2014 elections.
