Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand's popular prime minister, is on track to win a second term in this weekend's election.

FILE - In this Sept. 24, 2020, file photo, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is embraced as she arrives at the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand. Opinion polls indicate Ardern is on track to win a second term as prime minister in an election on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2020.

And yet as Ardern talks in uplifting tones about her plans to address mental health and climate change, she never mentions what many around the world consider her greatest success: leading the effort to stamp out the coronavirus from the nation’s shores.Nobody in the crowd is social distancing or wearing a mask — they don’t need to because the virus is no longer spreading in New Zealand. Life has returned to normal in the country of 5 million and Ardern’s popularity has skyrocketed as a result.

“I come from the Philippines. It’s quite hard to see what’s happening to them and especially what’s happening to India and the U.S.,” Buot said. “What she did was actually sort of amazing.” A former lawyer, Collins served as a minister when National was in power and prides herself on a blunt, no-nonsense approach, a contrast to Ardern’s empathetic style. Collins is promising sweeping tax cuts in response to the economic downturn caused by the virus.

hey are you going to tell us how she organised the false flag with John Podesta on muslims?

Admirable Jacinda, worthy of much applause, I always accompany her journey from here in Brazil.

PM Jacinda Ardern turned New Zealand from an afterthought into a global leader as a result of combating the coronavirus pandemic successfully, and that is why her Labour government will win by a landslide this weekend.

What does NZ add to the world ?

She’s fabulous! Y’all are doing a great job with the virus and really coming together as citizens n leaders.Believe me you don’t want to see what life looks like without leadership n clear communication So if you don’t re-elect her we would be happy to welcome her here in the 🇺🇸

How could she not. Can you imagine if she were president rather than Trump? 150,000 needless covid deaths in the US. realDonaldTrump

So good leadership is what the people want?🤔 Interesting.

Go Labour!

We should be so lucky to have someone like her!

In your wet dreams

lol she's ruined the country and the still love her what a bunch of dummies there's no hope

She’s an exemplary world leader and deserves a landslide victory. As an American, I am absolutely envious of New Zealand right now. We’re stuck with a narcissistic village idiot.

God bless her

Can we have her next in the States?

RinsolaAbiola She absolute deserves it...

Omg never let her leave, except maybe to give her to other countries to fix them (like Ireland!)

She is better than Trump.

Such great news. 😷

Well deserves, best of luck to jacindaardern. The world could be a better place, if we had more likes of Jacinda & JustinTrudeau of Canada. Global politics is seriously damaged by muslim dectators, PMOIndia, realDonaldTrump and other fanatics and their likes.

Any official who is elected is 'popular'. AP is not bright

Compassionate leadership works

NaijaFlyingDr endsars

Their media must suck just as badly as ours.

Well deserved

GO AUNTIE GOOOOOO

Weekend election!!? Wonder what that's like?

Awsum pawsum babawsum

Well deserves, best of luck to jacindaardern the world could be a better place of we had more likes of Jacinda & JustinTrudeau of Canada. Global politics is seriously damaged by muslim dectators, PMOIndia realDonaldTrump and other fanatics and their likes.

I'm not jealous we trump and Biden 🤭🤭🤭

Well. That's because she is a dictator, and she is refusing to agree to accept the results of reelection. Or is my world turned upside down? Which way do the toilets flush here? I think I'm confused. I'll ask Chaplin...

New Zealand has not beaten covid19! Not enough testing. The press here is useless, they don't ask the right questions. Our housing prices are sky high, food prices out of reach, lockdown made supermarket owners even richer than they were! And so the lolly scramble continues....

Nice to see some good news.

She so very much deserves it.

We always u knew it she withdrew troops from IRAQ the Terrorist EsperDoD & NATO continue to commit war crimes nzherald sam_vinograd rosemaryCNN vausecnn nytimes washingtonpost maddow margbrennan morningmika

She's A True leader! 👏 🙌 💜

wish she were our president

Hillary's BFF 2 peas in a cell I mean pod.

'Hey, why isn't she wearing a mask? Oh right... New Zealand.'

She's PM of a small chain of islands, not the hardest leadership job in the world. Socialism is coming to NZ, which is a shame.

Jealous af that we don’t have leadership like that here in the states 😫

realDonaldTrump - See what happens when you actually care about your citizens and follow science? People actually want to re-elect you! BidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

Congrats to Jacinda and to New Zealand!

I think she is fantastic, great role model of leadership compassion and integrity

Could not happen to a better person! Mother Jacinda is the best!

Send her Good wishes from India.

Her, they should make president for life !

Well of course! She has wiped out a pandemic, banned assault rifles after a mass shooting, and remained calm during a hurricane. Give this woman a medal!

Adern proves to the world how strong and powerful women are

Ew is that ccp i smell
