Hone Harawira didn't win in Te Tai Tokerau, and the party finished on just over 1.2% - well short of the 5% needed to put an MP into Parliament.

The party's main financial backer Kim Dotcom has taken responsibility for the loss, apologising to Mr Harawira personally as well as the party as a whole.

Mr Dotcom told Internet Mana supporters: "I take full responsibility".

He says "brand Kim Dotcom was poisoned" but he didn't realise that until the past few weeks. He then left the building, declining requests for an interview.

Green Party co-leader Russel Norman told ONE News earlier tonight he "doesn't think it [Kim Dotcom] has been very helpful" to the left as a whole.
