Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi's father Winston Wikuki Waititi has died in the Bay of Plenty.
Waititi shared the news on social media today.
"It is with great sadness and regret that we announce the passing of our pāpā, koko, Uncle and hoa, Winston Wikuki Waititi, who passed peacefully this morning," he wrote.
Winston will lay at his Otamaroa homestead overnight and then will lie in state at Kauaetangohia on Saturday until his burial on Monday.
Waititi's mother died last year after a period of illness.
