New Zealand election: Labour tops the popular vote, but National–ACT–New Zealand First retains a narrow projected parliamentary majority.
With 100 per cent of election-night returns counted, Labour finishes narrowly ahead of National, securing 29.36 per cent of the party vote against National's 29.21 per cent. However, the incumbent governing coalition holds a projected 67 of 131 parliamentary seats, just one above the 66-seat majority threshold.
#NZElection2026 #NewZealandElection
The election marks a substantial shift in New Zealand's political landscape. National has suffered a significant decline from its 2023 result, while its smaller right-wing coalition partners, ACT and New Zealand First, recorded substantial increases in electoral support.
The Greens also strengthened their parliamentary representation, while Opportunity entered Parliament with seven seats, further reflecting the growing electoral importance of smaller parties.
Despite Labour emerging as the largest party by popular vote, the preliminary parliamentary balance leaves the incumbent coalition narrowly ahead. Its continued majority, however, remains dependent on the official count, particularly in several closely contested electorates.
With approximately 399,000 special votes outstanding, official results are due November 27.
