KEY POINTS:
The Progressive Party will stand 27 candidates at this year's election.
Leader Jim Anderton who holds the safe seat of Wigram is in the top spot, while former MP Matt Robson is second.
The Progressives registered 1.16 per cent of the vote at the last election. A slightly higher vote this time around would mean the election of a second MP.
However, the party is struggling to register in most polls.
Mr Robson will also contest Maungakiekie, while his former press secretary Josie Pagani, who holds No 3 on the list, will contest Otaki.
Masters student Paula Gillon is No 4 on the list and social worker Phil Clearwater is No 5. Mr Clearwater will also contest the Port Hills electorate.
