Te Tai Tokerau MP Hone Harairwa is issuing an 11th hour call to arms, asking voters to ignore the calls from National, Labour and New Zealand First to support his Labour opponent Kelvin Davis.
The Mana leader has been targeted in the last days of the campaign, with John Key, David Cunliffe and Winston Peters all endorsing Mr Davis.
Mr Harawira has also claimed that the Maori Party may be telling supporters to vote for Mr Davis. The Maori Party has said strategic voting was considered, but ultimately dismissed.
Mr Harawira issued a statement this morning asking voters to "hold fast to their mana" again the party leaders who have "ganged together" against him.
"I call on our people to answer them in the strongest way possible, by making sure that every one of your whanau gets down to the polling booths over the next 48 hours and votes for me", Mr Harawira said.
"Now some party leaders want to take away their right to freely choose their next MP, and that's just not right."
He again defended his arrangement with the Internet Party and its backer Kim Dotcom, saying it was the best way to get more Mana MPs into parliament.
