ACT has added some fresh faces to the top of its party list for October's election.

It's demoted MPs Chris Baillie and Toni Severin to make way for newcomers Andrew Hoggard and Todd Stephenson.

Hoggard —a former Federated Farmers President— will be number five on the list.

Leader David Seymour told Mike Hosking that Stephenson —a founding Act Party member and former Act Party staffer with a background in the corporate sector— will be in number four.

Seymour says Stephenson is the kind of person who could operate as a minister from day one, because he's previously been in a high-level corporate environment.
