Hundreds of supporters gathered for the party s annual conference -
Honest Conversations - in Auckland yesterday, where the success of last year s election was still very much front of mind.
Act received 7.6 percent of the vote, meaning leader David Seymour was joined by nine new MPs. It s the biggest caucus ACT has had since 2002, when it had nine MPs under leader Richard Prebble.
But after six years as a one man band, ACT was keen to prove the party is more than just its leader.
Its nine new MPs were front and centre at the rally, speaking to hundreds of supporters at length about law and order, infrastructure, housing and farming.
Act leader confident 250,000 more people will support party by 2023
