New Zealand: Jacinda Ardern takes over as Prime Minister for a second term

New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has stepped down for a second term after a historic victory.

Jacinda Ardern and her ministers took the oath of office in English and Maori at a ceremony at Government House in Wellington, AFP reported.

“All I can say is that sitting at this table is Autiarva New Zealand,” Jacinda Ardern told a large crowd of   participants, her team and women.

Referring to the M ماori people, he said: “They cover a wide range of aspects as a whole, highly talented, experienced, capable of dealing with crises and committed to serving the country.”

Jacinda Ardern attributes her victory in the Cold War to her October 17 victory, and her left-wing Labor Party has had such a landslide victory since World War II.

According to the final results of the New Zealand elections, Jacinda Ardern won 50% of the vote and won 65 seats in the 120-seat House, compared to 64 in the preliminary results.

The main opposition National Party has lost 33 seats to 33, following the resignation of its campaign chief and party deputy, Gary Brownlee.

“We have to make sure that we represent all those who have elected us, whether they are city, suburb, general or Maori seats,” he said.

He called for reforms in areas such as energy, climate change, poverty and inequality, including infrastructure and state housing projects.

Bryce Edwards, a political commentator at Victoria University in Wellington on Jacinda Ardern’s victory, called the results the biggest change in New Zealand’s 80-year electoral history, saying “this is a historic change”.

Judith Collins, leader of the opposition National Party, said he had called the prime minister to congratulate him on the “excellent results”.

It may be recalled that the Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern had gained international acclaim with her best strategy after the terrorist attacks on Christchurch mosques in March last year.

Terrorist Brenton Trent entered the Al Noor Mosque and Lanewood in Christchurch, New Zealand, on March 15, 2019, when a large number of Muslims were in the mosque for Friday prayers.

Jacinda Ardern and French President Emmanuel Macron launched a “Christchurch Call” campaign against online extremism after a live video of the attack on two New Zealand mosques went viral.

Brenton Tarant was later sentenced to life in prison without bail, the worst sentence in New Zealand history, a sentence that would not pardon a terrorist who fired on mosques.
