Everybody Do the Hamu Shake

Everybody Do the Hamu Shake


MANA Candidate for Ikaroa-Rawhiti Te Hamua Nikora

“Everybody do the Hamu Shake” says the MANA Candidate for Ikaroa-Rawhiti Te Hamua Nikora.

“One of the most asked questions on the campaign trail is how do you intend to engage with younger voters? And my answer is the same – that they have to be able to relate to the politician that represents them”.
“I talk like them, I walk like them, I dress like them, I am them. I’m not a C.E.O. I’m a B.R.O.”

“The number of younger voters who have come up and said that they have either enrolled on the Maori roll, have joined MANA, or who are going to vote for MANA at the by-election, is great news”.

“If elected, I will be the first Member of Parliament to rap in the house during my maiden speech. If rap ain’t your thing, then check out the Hamu Shake that was performed with the help of our kaumatua from Ikaroa-Rawhiti”.

The Hamu Shake can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJDseKI3NFM
