New Zealand election result said too close to call
New Zealand held an election on Saturday that produced an extremely close result between the two main political sides. With over 95% of votes counted, fewer than 4,000 votes separated the incumbent conservative coalition from its opponents. Neither side secured enough support to govern outright, meaning weeks of negotiations will be needed to form a government. A millennial newcomer may play a decisive role in determining which side can assemble a governing majority.
