New Zealand voters have overwhelmingly rejected the Labour government, with the National party gaining significant support, signaling a major shift towards right-leaning politics in the country. This marks a stark contrast to the previous election when the Labour party, led by Jacinda Ardern, secured a significant victory.

New Zealand abandons Labour and shifts to the right as country votes for wholesale change

New Zealand voters have delivered a forceful rejection of the Labour government as a surge in support for the National party delivered what analysts described as a “bloodbath” for the government and a new right-leaning era for politics in the country.

The result marked a dramatic change in fortunes for the Labour party, which three years earlier – led by Jacinda Ardern – secured a historic mandate, but saw its support dwindle in the face of rising living costs and the Covid pandemic.

Speaking to a large crowd of party-faithful at his election night event in Auckland, National party leader Christopher Luxon said his party was on course to form the next government with libertarian party Act. “All over this country you have reached for hope and you have voted for change,” Luxon said.
