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

History

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

The party applied for registration on 27 March 2023. It was registered on 12 April 2023.

The party was previously a component party of Freedoms New Zealand. Some time between May and September 2023 it ceased being a component party of Freedoms.

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%.

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.
