United Future leader Peter Dunne has poured cold water on speculation he could retire from politics - confirming he plans to contest this year's election.

Dunne today confirmed his intention to stand again in the Ohariu electorate in Wellington.

He says that's based on the many strong messages of encouragement and support he has been receiving from constituents over recent months.

Former Police Association president Greg O'Connor is rumoured to be interested in becoming Labour's Ohariu candidate.

Nominations close on February 3.
