New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern carries homemade cheese scones as she arrives at an event to thank her electorate party workers in Auckland, New Zealand, Saturday, Oct. 17, 2020. New Zealand is holding a general election Saturday, and opinion polls indicate Ardern is on track to win a second term as prime minister.
With about one-third of votes counted, Ardern’s liberal Labour Party had nearly double the amount of votes than its main challenger, the conservative National Party. Her popularity soared earlier this year after she led a successful effort to stamp out the coronavirus. There is currently no community spread of the virus in the nation of 5 million and people are no longer required to wear masks or social distance.
She became a role model for working mothers around the world, many of whom saw her as a counterpoint to President Donald Trump. And she was praised for her handling of last year’s attack on two Christchurch mosques, when a white supremacist gunned down 51 Muslim worshippers.In late March this year, when only about 100 people had tested positive for the coronavirus, Ardern and her health officials put New Zealand into a strict lockdown with a motto of “Go hard and go early.
NZParliament : congratulations on a successful and smooth election! Hopefully, nzlabour will really look at and advocate HumanRights in the world. Cause just beyond its backyard in the Greater Asia region, China is blatantly violating these rights in Xinjiang & HongKong
Has brains for forever.
As she should.
Rightly so. And would you mind if we borrowed her for a little while. Just until 2021.
Awesome- she’s a dynamic leader. Wish we had her.
Vote NoOnProp16 to support existing UC outreach program that's already very diverse. and more RT and vote NoOnProp16
Nz voters are stupid. This is her literal record
congregation
Can she 🇳🇿 mentor the next US 🇺🇸 President?
more fool them!! she's a nutter as you will see shortly?
New Zealand is lucky to have good leadership.
I have a weird feeling that many leaders in the world will win a 2nd term, like Trump because of the band wagon logical fallacy 'Argumentum ad populum'.
Thats too bad.
MrTheatrics I want her as my president here.
The complete opposite of Trump here in the US.
congratulation NZ 🇳🇿 prime minister Jacinda win again this election!You are world best leader!Good job!
I wonder how it feels to have a competent leader
Well done. From my observation, PM Ardern seems like a fantastic leader.
Fah_Lo_Me Just great!
...meanwhile in Merica men all over the political spectrum continue to call strong political women bitches, too emotional, abrasive, nasty, etc. YINZ WAKE THE EFF UP! The U.S.A. should be leading the world in EVERYTHING! but hv taken many steps back in 4 yrs! I'm sick of it 🤬
Congratulations for thé élections all the best for the prime minister jacinda ardern and her Labour Party 🎊 🎈 🎉 .
Wishful thinking, but I kind of wish Jacinda would lose and come and run the UK instead.
Well done, JacindaArdern IStandWithDanAndrews DanForPMofAustralia
AP, Impressive! Great Article, on a Great World Leader!
Go get them jacindaardern NZStuff NewZealandToday WinBig BBCWorld NotBBCNewz
I’m from the U.K. - I thought Jacinda did an amazing job handling the covid crisis, think it’s about time the USA had its 1st American lady President.
She's a proper leader!
Think how much better off we would be if Hillary had won.....
Wish she was in charge of the UK
Authoritarianism is winning.
She can't afford to do something about that smile?
She's a class act and we've got bumbling Boris 'Frank Spencer' Johnson.
People forget she only could get into power last election because of someone else, she is good in crisis and has no solid people behind but she dealt with covid well which is why she is back in government
Her handling of the pandemic saved countless lives. I think of New Zealand as like Utopia away from COVID-19 now.
That's great and that happens, if you're doing Corona right. Yes, IM also a fan of hers since the early beginning of her PM-ship. Especially a fan of her cat (which sadly isn'T with us anymore, but one thing's for sure: a head of Government can't be bad, if he or she owns a cat)
She's very popular.
Let this be a lesson to our criminal govt. Integrity, compassion, empathy and putting the people first, pays of.
I hope, NewZealanders, you realise just how lucky you are. Here in the UK, we have no-one with honesty and integrity in our government. Meanwhile our PM continues on his course of destruction.
It would be thoroughly deserved for strong decisive leadership Meanwhile in the UK its headless chickens and robber barons
Congratulations New Zealand on an outstanding result.
Poor New Zealand 🇳🇿🙄🙄🙄
Makes a change seeing the electorate rewarding success not failure, as UK repeatedly does. Based on her trailblazing track record, she deserves to win and win big as she will continue to knock the ball our ofbte park for NZ
Congrats n’ all that but just heard her say “Build Back Better” That’s the same crap the Tories are trying to peddle in the UK 😬
steveruffley you voting for her? 😂
Fantastic ZERO covid-19 in NZ
DaveOshry Yeeeeeeah! ❤️😎
Covid-19 is indeed help responsible leader to hv landslide win if they act responsibly.. realDonaldTrump JoeBiden do it right.. u will be elected.. this is a rare chance for leader over hundreds year, don't miss the chance to win your vote by doing the right thing!!
Compassionate, progressive, unifying her people, strong on climate. - what a leader!
Fancy a trade with Boris NZ? Warning he lies, spwaff, mumbles and is an absolute shtebag. No returns! Cheers Likely
I guess most of the world no longer wants freedom. I get it freedom is hard being a sheep is easy. I just wasn't raised that way. NZ is filled with cowards I'll stay in America.
I wonder if theyd be interested in a part exchange? Johnson and his Cabinet plus Cummings for Jacinda?
Jacinda Ardern for World Leader? Get your votes in and make it happen people wtf WorldLeaderVote
She's a disgrace
Can she please become a UK citizen and come over here so we can get rid of our shit show.
The world could and needs all Women Governments. Men have fucked up for centuries.
With Euthanasia and cannabis on the paper as well, it's a weird vote
melvinkivinen ofcourse she is best and great
Wow the people of newzealandelection have a brain 🧠 so wish we had one? BorisTheLiar brexitshambles TrumpIsANationalDisgrace
Stockholm syndrome.
Those kiwis are so fucking lucky.
The world needs more strong, female leaders like PM Ardern running countries!
I don’t understand why!!!!! sarcasm
lookner
Nobody can contest her since no crowds can gather and discuss options. Tyranny much?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is she stunting on HillaryClinton?
She better win by landslide. A Leader that puts her people first
You rock, Sister!
Was There any doubt when u have JudithCollinsMP putting her foot in her mouth every 30 seconds wanted to lock every one to insulting people
With an opponent just cruising, making no effort Ardern was a shoe in.
R.e.s.p.e.c.t.
MyGrannyTheGeek Who wouldn’t want leadership like this
Happy to hear this.
Jacinda for Queen of the World.
Jacinda ardern the excellent leader. She managed covid19 and terrorism killings very nicely. She knows how to provide justice. She is the great leader always thinking about peoples welfare.we hope she will work for human rights and world peace with like minded nations.
Her winning the election again was always on the card....
What, No universal mail in ballots with weeks to go before knowing the election results? What a novel concept!
This is everything the Toupee wish he could be
lookner The game is rigged. Stop voting.
lookner 👎
Hope she is open to taking Brexit refugees
We need so many more women like her in positions of power. 🙌🏾👏🏾❤
lookner RiP New CCPealand
New Zealanders are masochistic?
Strength less opposition with uninterested political participation for leaders . It's quite opposite to India.
Despite Spitting Images vicious and unwarranted attack piece.
Well I hope you guys wait on November 3rd and don’t start with your projections with 3% in.
She's a rock star- good on her!
And one of her election promises was to make it illegal to criticise Islam. Scary that's she is OK with criticism of other religions but not Islam
phyll_indablank Good. She kicked COVID19's ass and she came through for NZ
Ya because the Polls are never wrong or anything. Lol
She deserves more! The iron lady of the time.
Sounds good.
She is one cherished woman! More power to her
