‘New Zealanders have voted for change’ – Luxon

The National Party leader said he was in a position to form a government.

Luxon said his preference was to form a coaltion with the ACT Party, although he was appreciative of Winston Peters’ comments earlier in the night of being ‘willing to help where needed.’

Preliminary results of the 2023 New Zealand general election as of this evening:

  • National – 50
  • Labour – 34
  • Greens – 14
  • ACT – 11
  • NZ First – 8
  • Te Pati Maori – 4

Minor parties (party vote):

  • TOP – 2.1%
  • New Zealand Loyal – 1.2%
  • NEZ – 0.6%
  • LCP – 0.4%
  • FNZ – 0.3%
  • DNZ – 0.2%

Big name Labour casualties who lost electorate seats were:

  • Nanaia Mahuta
  • Kieran McAnulty
  • Michael Wood
  • Priyanca Radhakrishnan
  • Willow-JeanPrime
  • Rino Tirikatene

ACT’s Brooke Van Velden won the previously safe National seat of Tamaki from encumbent Simon O’Connor by a margin of 4,578 votes. National Deputy Leader Nicola Willis was not able to take Ohariu from Labour encumbent Greg O’Connor, failling short by over 1,400 votes on election night.

Electorate seats which could change hands following the counting of special votes include:

  • Banks Penisular – Vanessa Weenik (NAT) leads by 114 votes
  • Hutt South – Chris Bishop (NAT) leads by 784 votes
  • Mt. Albert – Helen White (LAB) leads by 89 votes
  • Nelson – Blair Cameraon (NAT) leads by 54 votes
  • New Lynn – Paulo Garcia (NAT) leads by 778 votes
  • Rongotai – Julie-Anne Genter (GRN) leads by 866 votes
  • Te Atatu – Angee Nicholas (NAT) leads by 170 votes
  • West Coast – Maureen Pugh (NAT) leads by 915 votes
  • Tamaki Makaurau – Peeni Henares (LAB) leads by 388 votes
  • Te Tai Tokerau – Kelvin Davis (LAB) leads by 224 votes

The Electoral Commission must now complete the official vote count in the next 20 days, while the deadline for counting special votes is 10 days from today.

  1. While the prospect of National, after 6 years, calling the political shots again feels like an unsettling déjà vu, the real kicker is that 37 % of NZ voters still voted Labour/Green.
    37 %!
    Scary!

    • The tragedy is that the young Green voters are voting for the environment and are going to get Co-Governance but even if they think this is a good idea it doesnt show their understanding of reality is in the realm of sanity.

  2. Praise God that there are enough normal people in the country who voted against the communist agenda, now we have to keep the center right to their word.

  3. All they have voted for is a change of colour. As far as the rest goes, it’s business as usual. But Liz Gunn should take heart it’s only upwards from here. 🇳🇿

  4. Question this;

    WAS THERE A DISCREPANCY IN VOTE NUMBERS WHEN THE ‘GLITCH’ IN THE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES WAS ‘FIXED / REPAIRED/ FROM THE NUMBERS BEFORE THE ‘GLITCH’???

    DID THE NEW ZEALAND LOYAL PARTY LOSE VOTES AFTER THE REPAIR TO THE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES COMPARED TO BEFORE THE REPAIR???

    The Globalists simply flip-flopped political parties last night. Luxom will do the bidding of his Illuminati / Globalist / Zionist Masters as noted in the appearance of ANZ NZ CEO ‘Sir’ John Key.

    It will be Key who is running New Zealand, just like Obama and Hellary have been running the U.S. with Biden as the pre-selected fraudulent ‘President’…!

    • Glitch ? arlam bells are ringing and red lights are flashing, funny, same thing happened as in the last US election. Was this ‘happening’ to stop NZ Loyal getting past the 5% ? You can almost read these globalists like a book. They call India a third world country but they have fingerprint voting. Who really is the third world country when comparing it to NZ ?

  5. Another 3 years of the uniparty’s, globalist neo liberals who bow down before the WHO, UN and of course, the WEF…good to see NZL do so well so early on, definite future potential….

    • Interestingly, it will be terrier Winston to sniff out the uni-parties corruption, now that he is in parliament.
      That is is he keeps his work.
      And Liz Gunn: COGRATULATIONS! Fantastic result for a party that just started. NZLoyal needs to be far more aggressive, prominent, outspoken, be part of the “river of filth” and be proud of it. You gotta ditch the TV “nice”.
      As for the future of New Zealand: sadly, it doesn’t matter what WEF derivative party is in power. The future has been set and in the making since many years, and the locality of that making is not in New Zealand.
      For we are woefully entrenched in the ‘easy’ money creation machine, corrupting every government since Modern Monetary Theory was enacted by the Central Banking Cabal. It’s easy to splash out for a while, while voters are too stupid and greedy to realize that there has a price to be payed by retirees and the next generation(s).
      The horrid economic and financial times are yet to come (soon) and no government will be able to avert hardship for many New Zealanders.
      Question is: who will educate the public, of which, according to election results, an insane number are still asleep.
