Mr Harawira has been unavailable since he lost his Te Tai Tokerau seat to Labour's Kelvin Davis by more than 1100 votes on Saturday night.
He said today he was sorry for not responding for requests for interviews but had been spending time talking to his party and supporters.
He would not make any formal statement until the final election result was posted, which is expected on 4 October, he said.
