    The National Party hopes to court voters lost at the last election

    The National Party hopes to court voters lost at the last election


    Nicola Willis is serving as new deputy leader under former Air New Zealand Chief Executive Christopher Luxon.

    National lost more than 400 thousand votes between 2017 and 2020.

    Ms Willis says the lost votes affected the diversity of the party's members.
