New Zealand’s Parliament was dissolved on Oct 1, marking the official start of campaigning forNovember’s national election, which is shaping up to be a tight contest between the ruling centre-right coalition and a Labour-led left bloc.
Parliament held its final sitting on Sept 23 ahead of the Nov 7 vote, with parties focusing on the cost of living, economic management and public services.
A widely watched 1News-Verian poll released this week showed a left-leaning coalition likely led by Labour could potentially form a government-winning 65 seats, against 59 for the incumbent National, ACT and New Zealand First bloc.
