The Opportunities Party is using the final days before the election to launch a strategic campaign against New Zealand First.

The party, which is polling at 1.6 per cent according to the latest Newshub Reid Research poll, is still hopeful it can cross the 5 per cent threshold but is looking towards its plan B, just in case.

That means removing NZ First leader Winston Peters and his party from post-election coalition negotiations.

"To that end the party has identified 13 electorates it is standing in, where, on current polling figures, the Labour and National candidates will enter parliament on their party lists," leader Gareth Morgan said.

"To make sure TOP is in a position to stop the backwards conservatism of NZ First holding sway over any new government the party is calling on National and Labour voters... to make their local vote count by ticking TOP."

Mr Morgan said Mr Peters' politics were the "worst kind", saying he thought Mr Peters' policies were "xenophobic, racist and homophobic".

"He appeals to the worst side of our human nature. I don't want him anywhere near parliament and any self-respecting New Zealander shouldn't either.

"That's what the Stop Peters campaign is about."

Electorates include Wellington Central, where co-deputy leader Geoff Simmons is standing, Ohariu, Auckland Central and Labour leader Jacinda Ardern's Mount Albert electorate.

Mr Morgan said his party didn't expect National or Labour to endorse the campaign.
