Hipkins, who was elected in 2008 to parliament, is set to be declared prime minister on Sunday during a Labour Party Caucus as a formality. Ardern must hand in her resignation letter to the governor general so that Hipkins, who serves as minister for police, education and public service and House leader, can be appointed, Reuters reports.
