Kapa, who was from the Aupōuri iwi in Northland, contested and won the 1891 by-election for the seat of Northern Maori. His predecessor, Sydney Taiwhanga, was elected for his second term in the 1890 general election, but died before the election results were announced.[1]
As a member of the 11th New Zealand Parliament, Kapa spoke out in support of women's enfranchisement. He was also a member of the Māori Parliament, and reported to them the proceedings of the New Zealand Parliament.[2]
Kapa contested the seat in the 1893 general election. Despite receiving significant support from women voters (who received voting rights that year),[3] he was defeated by Hone Heke Ngapua. Ngapua also defeated Kapa for the seat in the 1896[4] and 1899 elections.[5]
Family
Kapa was an uncle to the Te Aupōuri and Waikato leader Mutu Paratene Kapa.[6]
