Katter's Australian Party predicts Labor incumbent Kate Jones won't need its preferences to retain the crucial seat of Ashgrove in the Queensland election.
Federal leader Bob Katter and state leader Aidan McLindon announced on Sunday the party would not direct preferences to either Labor or the Liberal National Party (LNP).
The announcement came after speculation they would do a preference swap deal between Ms Jones in Ashgrove and Mr McLindon in Beaudesert.
However, Mr McLindon told reporters in his electorate on Sunday he had been friends with Ms Jones for 16 years, and was confident she was "strong" enough to retain Ashgrove herself.
She will be battling LNP leader Campbell Newman for the seat, who must win if he is to become premier.
