The investigation was originally scheduled to be conducted in September, but it was postponed for a month after the outbreak of Covid-19. Before Saturday’s vote, more than one million people voted in the early voting that began on October 3.
New Zealanders are also required to hold two referendums at the same time as the general election.
40-year-old Ms. Ardern told supporters after the victory: “New Zealand has shown the Labour Party its greatest support in nearly 50 years. We will not take your support for granted. I can guarantee that we will be every New Zealander in the ruling party. “
The leader of the National Party (NAT), Judith Collins, congratulated Ms. Arden and assured her that her party would be a “strong opposition.”
She was referring to the next scheduled election. “We will be back.” Since the introduction of the voting system called Mixed Member Proportional Representation (MMP) in 1996, no party has been able to obtain an absolute majority in New Zealand.
Ms. Arden, known as the “Republican election” poll, promised to implement more climate-friendly policies, increase funding for disadvantaged schools, and raise income taxes for high-income earners.
She has won praise on the international stage and has been appreciated by many people in China.
Things have not always been smooth sailing-some have accused her of failing to fulfill key election promises, such as reducing child poverty, while others have mocked her “wake up” policy of supporting social and racial justice. However, Jacinda Ardern entered the 2020 election with a 55{7d6bb1f761e691f027164c9fe6d1ebbc4659a250013ce39dc45a15ede39dbac5} approval rating, which means an overwhelming victory.
