Ardern’s liberal Labour Party received 49% of the vote, defeating the conservative National Party, which got 27%. Ardern said the margin of the victory surpassed their expectations. The result will give Labour an outright majority in Parliament, the first time any party has achieved that since New Zealand implemented a proportional voting system 24 years ago. Typically parties have formed unions to direct but this time Labour can go it alone.

Ardern’s reputation sailed earlier this year after she led a successful effort to halt the spread of the virus by implementing a strict lockdown in late March. Ardern, 40, won the top job at the 2017 election. The following year, she became only the second world leader to give birth while in office. In 2019, she was praised for her empathetic response to a massacre at two Christchurch mosques in which a gunman killed 51 Muslim worshippers.
