The Green Party has added some fresh names to its official list for the election.
The party has ranked 30 candidates for the November 26 election,
and has an additional 14 candidates currently confirmed to contest
the party vote in November.
Canterbury's Eugenie Sage - a former regional councillor, is the
highest ranked of the new female faces, at six on the list.
The new list candidate is confident she has got what it takes to enter Parliament.
The Greens have recently been polling at around 10% and if that continues through until November, Sage will become an MP.
But she said nothing is certain in politics, and plans to push her message harder in the lead up to the election.
Sage believes 20 years of campaigning for environmental issues has given her experience to become a politician for the Greens.
She said one of her focuses as an MP will be around creating a sustainable Christchurch as the city's rebuilt following the earthquakes.
Wellington's Jan Logie, who stood for the Greens in the recent Mana by-election is at place number nine.
Experienced local body politician Denise Roche from Auckland is one the list at place 11.
