A former National Party cabinet minister will tomorrow enter the election fray with a Christian party.

Alfred Ngaro was a minister in the Bill English Government, but says none of the political parties running for office this year fully embrace the Christian ethic.

Ngaro admits it's late in the piece to be launching a party, but says they plan to launch it tomorrow 'like a rocket.'

To a suggestion that his party could drag votes away from National, which he represented for nine years in Parliament, Ngaro was philosophic.

"Well, the reality is that I haven't moved from my values. I just feel that the National Party has moved, away from some of the values that I've upheld."

"Look at the National Party, we still have a number of things that we hold in common, but some of those other core values that make me who I am. I just feel that they've shifted from there."

Ngaro says it's not about left and right, his party would represent people across the board.

"But right now, I believe we're in a time in which there are more people who care about politics now than they ever have before. They just don't know who to trust." he said.

Ngaro was asked about the new party's name and said it's totally appropriate for a Christian political party.

"What I love about this is that the word zeal just has so many powerful emotions and values that are in there. Zeal means energy in pursuit of a cause, it has passion, it has purpose- and and I just believe this is what the nation is looking for. This energy, this passion, this purpose- that's important."

Ngaro was asked where on the political spectrum the party would place itself, and he says across the board.

"If you talk to people like Nigel Farage and the people internationally, the conversations are no longer about left and right. It's about what's right and what's wrong, that's what people are saying."

"I'm a centrist, that's where I sit and that's where I will always sit. There are things we have in common with the National Party. So more in the centre, probably more learning centre right."

In the short time left before the vote, Ngaro was confident his party will do well, even scratching up five percent of the vote necessary to get his list MPs into Parliament.

"You know what I love about being Kiwi? It's that it doesn't matter what the odds are like, it's a bit like a David and Goliath sort of thing. We run to the giant, we run to the big things that are important. We're not afraid of that, you know, we're 65 days out."

"There's no campaign runway. So we're going to fire a rocket."
