Could Christopher Luxon secure another term and still face a fight for his leadership?
Katie Bradford is joined by NZ Herald chief political reporter Jamie Ensor and Tō Waha Media owner Carmen Parahi to discuss National’s polling, the power its coalition partners could wield and why cost of living concerns are getting lost in the campaign.
They also examine the fallout from Labour’s candidate controversy, the Māori electorate battles that could reshape Parliament, and concerns about voter enrolment and information at polling booths.
