Following the challenges of the last General Election, I joined others to rebuild NZ Loyal, a party supported by 35,000 voters. On Saturday 8th November, I was honored to be elected as NZ Loyal’s President, joining a talented board to lead the party into the next election.
Our focus is clear: policy-driven solutions to address New Zealand’s pressing issues. Wage earners are struggling, businesses are closing at alarming rates, and our young talent is leaving in droves. The purchasing power of our dollar is now just 10% of its 1971 value. NZ Loyal has practical tools to restore wealth, happiness, and pride, ensuring a vibrant, independent future for our children, grandchildren, and generations to come.
We need your support to fix our country. One chance, one term, one time.
Pete Verhoeven

Introducing Our New Leadership Team
I am pleased to announce the formation of our new Board, which includes two new regular board members: Les Berger and Stefan Paladin. Their fresh perspectives will strengthen our strategic direction. Additionally, we welcome Te Rina O’Connell as our new Treasurer and Chris Dassler as our Press and Media Secretary. Their expertise will be instrumental in driving our mission forward.
Our leader, Kelvyn, has exercised his constitutional authority to appoint John Alcock as Deputy Leader, a decision announced at the AGM. John’s introduction was a highlight of the meeting, and his insights underscored the challenges we face as a nation. He highlighted the stark reality that today’s wages hold just 10% of the purchasing power they had in 1971 – a sobering statistic that underscores the urgency of our proposed 1% transaction tax, which will provide significant relief to every wage earner in New Zealand.
John also spoke candidly about the detrimental impact of Marxist governments, backing his claims with compelling data. His depth of knowledge, evidence-based approach, and passion make him an invaluable asset to our leadership team. Together with Kelvyn, John will deliver powerful, fact-driven messages to the public, and I am excited about the impact they will have.
Acknowledging Past Contributions
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Brenton Faithful, Marilyn Park, and Vince McLeod for their dedicated service during the previous administration. Their contributions laid a strong foundation for our ongoing work.
