New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has unveiled his party list ranking ahead of October's election.

The party's recent addition, former Wellington City Mayor Andy Foster, is on the list at number 7.

"We have had a great number of applicants and potential candidates moving through the selection process over the past few months," Peters said.
