Statement From Hon Peter Dunne, Leader United Future New Zealand and Ian Tulloch, President, United Future New Zealand
Re: Kelly Chal - United Future Candidate
"We deeply regret the circumstances surrounding Kelly Chal's resignation from Parliament. Our own investigations and
those of the Chief Electoral Office have been completed and our explanation has been accepted by the Chief Electoral
Officer.
"We are committed to our founding principles of integrity and justice and regret that an unfortunate sequence of events
has led to mistakes which must now be remedied.
" We have given the Electoral Office every cooperation and accept their tough, but fair, judgement of us.
"As recognition of our responsibilities we are working with the Chief Electoral Office to put in place systems to ensure
that this type of incident cannot occur again.
"We have a team of Parliamentarians who are capable, intelligent, dedicated and eager to commence their duties to serve
in the 47th Parliament."
