A former Cabinet Minister's revealed he's heading back into politics - with just over two months to go until election day.

Newstalk ZB revealed Alfred Ngaro has formed a Christian Party, to be known as New Zeal.

Ngaro was a minister in Bill English's National Government, but says Christians need a voice which isn't being given by any party at the moment.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Ngaro's not giving himself much of a runway.

"There's only 65 days to go until the election, so there's not a hell of a lot of time to get out there. It's a list-only party at this stage."
