New Zealand election too close to call, with government unsettled
New Zealand's election has not produced a clear winner, and the shape of the next government may take weeks to settle.
New Zealand's election has not produced a decisive result for either the governing right-wing coalition or the opposition left bloc. The Guardian reports the country could wait weeks to learn what the next government looks like.
On preliminary results, the National party, led by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, will be the largest party in parliament. The Guardian reports National won enough seats to govern with its two usual coalition partners, Act and New Zealand First.
Al Jazeera reports that Luxon says the election is "too close to call" and that he has a pathway to form the next government.
