New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announced on Wednesday that he survived a leadership vote among lawmakers in his ruling National Party. The hastily convened meeting took place in Wellington less than three months before an upcoming election.
Luxon has served as prime minister since 2023 but has struggled to reverse his party's declining standing in public opinion polls. Prior to the vote, his political future hung in the balance as party members gathered to decide whether he should remain as leader.
