OurNZ logo, as registered with the NZ Electoral Commission
The OurNZ Party is a political party in New Zealand. The party advocates a new currency, a 1% transaction tax, a written constitution, and binding referenda.[1] Its founding leaders were former Direct Democracy Party leader Kelvyn Alp and Rangitunoa Black.[2]
Kelvyn Alp represented the party in the 2011 Te Tai Tokerau by-election,[2][3] gaining 72 votes.[4]
In September 2011 the party's logo was registered by the Electoral Commission.[5]
Kelvyn Alp announced his departure from his role on 25 September, saying that Will Ryan would take over as interim party leader.[6] Although the party had expressed an intention to contest the 2011 election, and had selected at least one person to stand for it,[7] there were no OurNZ candidates registered with the Electoral Commission when nominations closed.[8]
