A final vote count Friday following a general election in New Zealand three weeks ago has changed the political equation for winner Christopher Luxon, whose conservative National Party will now need broader support to govern. An election night count had given the National Party and the closely aligned libertarian ACT Party a slim overall majority.
Ardern won the previous election in a landslide, but her popularity waned as people got tired of COVID-19 restrictions and inflation threatened the economy. The final vote count could slow down or stop Luxon's new government from implementing some of its plans, as it will need support from a broader range of lawmakers to pass bills. It will also give Peters more influence to get his own bills and plans considered.
