Christian Democratic Party founder Fred Nile will retire from the NSW parliament after 40 years – and has nominated Queenslander and conservative lobbyist Lyle Shelton to replace him.

Mr Nile, 86, who is the longest-serving current member of the state parliament, will retire in November.

“It has been the privilege of my life to represent Christ’s values in the NSW parliament on behalf of the citizens of this great state,” he said.

He recommended Mr Shelton to succeed him and said he will fill a need for “unashamedly Christian voices in public life”.

Mr Shelton said he was honoured by the nod and said he would seek the support of the party’s state council.

Formerly the managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby for a decade, Mr Shelton was a leader in the campaign against legalising same-sex marriage in Australia.

The Brisbane-based former Toowoomba city councillor previously ran an unsuccessful campaign for a Queensland senate seat with Cory Bernardi’s Australian Conservatives.

Mr Nile, a reverend, is the only Christian Democratic Party member left in NSW parliament after the party’s other seat was lost at the last election.

He has held his own upper house seat since 1981.
