On Saturday, Prime Minister Ardren had secured a landslide victory in New Zealand’s general election and is now set to serve a second term.
“With 87 per cent of the votes counted, Ardern’s center-left Labour Party has won 48.9 per cent of the vote, meaning her party looks likely to score the highest result that any party has achieved since the current political system was introduced in 1996,” CNN reported.
Arden gave a powerful victory speech where she said, “Tonight, New Zealand has shown the Labour Party its greatest support in at least 50 years.”
