JACINDA ARDERN

Oct. 19, 2020

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s Labour Party has won over 49 per cent votes in the general elections. At 26.9 percent of the votes, the National Party is in second place.

Significance of election results:

Ardern’s party has won a majority, the biggest victory for the Labour Party in over 50 years.
This will also be the first time that a party will be governing alone since New Zealand moved to the MMP (mixed-member proportional representation) electoral system in 1996.
With nearly 50 per cent of the vote, the party will get more than the 61 seats required for a parliamentary majority.
