National Party leader Christopher Luxon waves a flag in front of supporters and a campaign bus in Rotorua, New Zealand, on Friday, Oct. 13, 2023, the last day of campaigning for New Zealand’s election. New Zealanders vote in a national general election Saturday.
Luxon, meanwhile, hugged supporters in Auckland on his final campaign stop as they chanted his slogan to get New Zealand “back on track.”South Korea says it expressed concern to China for sending North Korean escapees back home Under New Zealand’s proportional voting system, Luxon and his National Party will likely need to form an alliance with other parties to command a majority. Polls indicate Luxon will need the support of the libertarian ACT Party and possibly also Winston Peters, a maverick who has found support among disaffected voters including some conspiracy theorists.
During the six-week campaign, both Hipkins and Luxon have been hamming it up for the cameras, from scooping out ice cream to making pizzas. Luxon also got cheers when he promised to fix the capital’s gridlocked traffic with a new tunnel project.
