The Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern
Wellington … News Time
New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has taken office for a second term after a historic victory. According to the AFP news agency, Jacinda Ardern and her ministers took the oath of office in English and Maori at a ceremony at Government House in Wellington. “I would say that sitting at this table is Aotearoa New Zealand,” said Jacinda Ardern, addressing the large crowd, her team and the women. Referring to the Maori people, he said that they cover various aspects as a whole, are highly talented, experienced, crisis management and committed to serve the country. Jacinda Ardern attributes her victory in the war to the October 17 victory over COVID-19, 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, Gerry Brownlee. Jacinda Ardern said she had a clear mandate for reform, but that the priority was to tackle COVID-19 and restore the virus-infected economy. “We have to make sure that we are representing all those who have elected us, whether they are city, suburb, general or Maori seats,” he said. He hinted at reforms on issues such as energy, climate change, poverty and inequality, including infrastructure and government housing projects.
Bryce Edwards, a political commentator at Victoria University in Wellington on the success of Jacinda Ardern, described the results as the biggest change in New Zealand’s 80-year electoral history, saying it was a historic change. Opposition National Party leader Judith Collins said she had called the prime minister to congratulate him on the 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. The terrorist Brenton Tarrant entered the Al Noor Mosque and Lanewood on March 15, 2019 in Christchurch, New Zealand, and opened fire when a large number of Muslims were in the mosque for Friday prayers. The tragic incident left 50 people dead and several others injured, and the Prime Minister of New Zealand called the attacks terrorism. The terrorist who opened fire at the mosque also aired a live video of the attack on social media, which was later removed from social media at the request of New Zealand authorities. 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 Tarrant was later sentenced to life in prison without bail, the worst sentence in New Zealand history. This punishment will not in any case give the terrorist who fired in mosques the right to pardon.
