Rodney Local Board member Beth Houlbrooke has leapfrogged her way to number four on the Act Party list - though she would not become an MP unless the party won 4 per cent of the party vote as well as an electorate seat.
Meanwhile Epsom candidate David Seymour, seen as
the only hope of the party getting back into Parliament, has removed himself from the list to concentrate on winning the seat.
Act revealed its party list today, with leader Jamie Whyte and deputy leader Kenneth Wang at the top two spots.
Number three is Robin Grieve, an avocado orchardist, who won 596 votes in Whangarei in 2011 and was number 15 on the 2011 list.
Beth Houlbrooke was not on the list last election, but stood in Rodney and collected just 204 votes.
