Summary
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has led New Zealand since 2023 but has been unable to reverse his party’s slide in the polls, with a series of gaffes, divisions within his ruling coalition, and rising living costs and unemployment denting his popularity. — AFP pic First Published: Wednesday, 12 Aug 2026 12:45 PM MYT WELLINGTGON, Aug 12 — New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said he had the “full support” of his ruling National Party today after surviving a leadership challenge called with less than three months until a general election. But it took over six weeks for him to broker a three-way coalition government with populist New Zealand First and right-wing libertarian ACT, a marriage of convenience he has struggled to manage throughout his premiership. And he topped off last week by calling for a referendum of New Zealand’s mixed-member proportional representation, a wildly unpopular suggestion that caught many in his own government off-guard.
