Chris Hipkins confirmed New Zealands new PM, to focus on domestic issues #IndiaNEWS #News
Wellington: The New Zealand Labor Party has confirmed Chris Hipkins as the partys new leader and New Zealands 41st Prime Minister, said Chris Hipkins in a press conference on Sunday.
The Labor Party caucus meeting voted the Caucus member, Minister for Education, Police and Public Service and Leader of the House Chris Hipkins as the new party leader. Hipkins was the only nominee to replace Jacinda Ardern, who announced her resignation on Thursday, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Member of Parliament for Kelston and Cabinet minister Carmel Sepuloni was appointed deputy prime minister.
According to the New Zealand political system, the majority party of the Parliament forms the government and that party leader becomes the prime minister.
Speaking at the press conference after the Caucus meeting, Hipkins said that he will be officially sworn in as the Prime Minister on Wednesday. Cabinet reshuffle will be also arranged in the coming week.
He vowed to focus on domestic issues, saying that high inflation, high housing prices and law and order issue will be the major policy focus for his government, while going to China would be high on the priority list but not locking in any international travel plans yet.
Ardern announced on Thursday that she will step down as the prime minister and the leader of the Labor Party in February and she will not be seeking re-election this year.
Meanwhile, New Zealands 2023 general election will be held on October 14, Ardern said.
