New Zealand PM issues warning over ‘coalition of chaos’

Auckland | New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has warned of a “coalition of chaos” running the country if his Labour Party is turfed from government, as his centre-right opponent is likely to need the help of two minor parties to take power.

National Party leader and former airline executive Christopher Luxon remained in prime position to become New Zealand’s next prime minister, despite polls suggesting a late surge from Mr Hipkins’ Labour Party ahead of Saturday’s election.
