Christopher Luxon has secured his position as Prime Minister and leader of the National Party after winning a confidence vote within his caucus—one he initiated himself.
The meeting, which ran for more than two hours, came amid internal concerns from some MPs and declining support in recent polling.
Following the vote, Luxon said the outcome reaffirmed his leadership, stating he had the backing of his caucus.
He described the discussion as open and constructive but declined to take questions from the media. Luxon also dismissed ongoing speculation about his position, signalling he would not engage further and considers the issue settled.
