The Integrity Party of Aotearoa New Zealand (TIPANZ) was an unregistered political party in New Zealand. [1] It was a progressive-centrist party, with an ideology of Hauora (well-being), equality, and integrity. [2] It was led by Helen Cartwright [3] with Troy Mihaka as deputy. [4]

Foundation

The party was founded by former Sustainable New Zealand Party secretary Helen Cartwright and former Wellington local body candidate Troy Mihaka. [2] Mihaka stood for election to Wellington City Council in 2019 for the centre-right Wellington Party. [5]

2020 general election

The party intended to run both list and electorate candidates in New Zealand's 2020 election, [6] but did not register so was unable to receive party votes. [7] It ran two electoral candidates: Cartwright in Mana [8] and Mihaka in Rongotai. [9] In July 2020 Mihaka's candidate signs were painted with racist abuse, apparently due to the authorisation statement being written in Te Reo. [10] [11] Cartwright said in September 2020 that "If 100 people vote for me, I will be rapt; if 1000 people vote for me, I will do somersaults." [12]

Neither candidate was successful; Cartwright received 360 votes, coming 7th, [13] and Mihaka received 162, coming 8th. [14]

The party did not run any candidates in the 2023 general election. [15]
