Chris Hipkins is set to replace Jacinda Ardern as New Zealand's PM after being the only candidate to be nominated for the role, says Labour Party
New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern reacts following the announcement of her resignation at the War Memorial Hall, in Napier, New Zealand.
Chris Hipkins is set to replace Jacinda Ardern as leader of the Labour party and New Zealand's prime minister after being the only candidate to be nominated for the role, the Labour Party has said. Hipkins is expected to be confirmed as the new leader by a meeting of Labour's 64 lawmakers, or Caucus, on Sunday.
First elected to parliament for the Labour Party in 2008, the 44-year-old Hipkins became a household name fronting the government's response to the pandemic after being appointed minister for Covid-19 in November 2020. Hipkins is currently minister for the Police, Education, Public Service and serves as leader of the House.
