It has been formally confirmed that the outgoing New Zealand Prime Minister will be succeeded by Chris Hipkins. His deputy has also been determined.
Former New Zealand Police and Education Minister Chris Hipkins is to succeed outgoing Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
The 44-year-old was formally confirmed as the successor by a Labor Party committee on Sunday, along with his future deputy Carmel Sepuloni, a representative of the Pacific Islanders. Hipkins announced at a press conference on Sunday that he would be sworn in as the new prime minister on Wednesday.
The 42-year-old Ardern, who has ruled the country since 2017, surprisingly announced on Thursday that she would withdraw by February 7 and said that she lacked the strength to continue. She is expected to step down shortly before Hipkins is then sworn in as the country’s 41st prime minister. He is then to lead the country in the elections scheduled for October 14.
