Ardern wins landslide re-election in NZ
The Philippine Star|October 18, 2020
WELLINGTON (Reuters) – New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s center-left Labor Party won a landslide victory in the country’s general election yesterday as voters rewarded her for a decisive response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Ardern wins landslide re-election in NZ

The mandate means Ardern, 40, could form the first single-party government in decades, and face the challenge of delivering on the progressive transformation she promised but failed to deliver in her first term, where Labor shared power with a nationalist party.

“This is a historic shift,” political commentator Bryce Edwards of Victoria University in Wellington, said describing the vote as one of the biggest swings in New Zealand’s electoral history in 80 years.

Labor was on track to win 64 of the 120 seats in the country’s unicameral parliament, the highest by any party since New Zealand adopted a proportional voting system in 1996.

If Labor wins more than half the seats, Ardern could form the first single-party government under the current system.
