The New Nation Party is a registered political party in New Zealand. The party is led by Guy Slocum.[3] It opposes vaccine mandates, Three Waters, and the United Nations.[4]

History

The party stood former Tauranga City councillor Andrew Hollis as a candidate at the 2022 Tauranga by-election.[5][6] He received 260 votes.[7]

The party applied for registration on 27 March 2023.[8] It was registered on 12 April 2023.[9]

The party was previously a component party of Freedoms New Zealand.[10][11][12] Some time between May and September 2023 it ceased being a component party of Freedoms.[13][14]

Polling conducted for 1News, between the party's founding and mid-September 2023, indicated the party's support at between 0.1% and 0.5%.[15]

In the 2023 general election, New Nation Party received 0.05% of the party vote – 1,530 votes, the lowest result of any party – and did not win any electorate seats, meaning it did not enter parliament.[16]
