Chris Hipkins set to become next prime minister of New Zealand

Minister selected by Labour party to succeed Jacinda Ardern after her shock resignation on Thursday A new prime minister for New Zealand has been chosen by the Labour party after the shock resignation of Jacinda Ardern on Thursday.Chris Hipkins, the country’s minister for education and policing and one of the primary architects of its Covid response, was nominated uncontested by the caucus on Saturday morning. While the party caucus has yet to formally endorse his selection – that is due to occur on Sunday – he was the only MP nominated for the role, after efforts by senior MPs to achieve consensus and secure a smooth transition in Ardern’s wake.
