Hone Harawira is expected to attend a Rotorua hui today to discuss a complaint laid against him by a fellow Maori Party MP.
Mr Harawira previously referred to the gathering as a "kangeroo court", chosen by people who wanted to get rid of him.
The party's national council invited Mr Harawira and fellow MP Te Ururoa Flavell to the hui at Rotorua's Taheke Marae in the hopes the men could resolve the complaint laid by Mr Flavell over a newspaper column.
In the column Mr Harawira said the party was too wrapped up with National and was supporting anti-Maori policies.
Earlier today, Mr Harawira told NZPA he was unsure whether he would be attending the hui and was seeking advice.
However, speaking to media at the marae this afternoon, party president Pem Bird said Mr Harawira and Mr Flavell were both expected to attend the meeting.
