Luxon summons National Party caucus for urgent meeting amid leadership rumours
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has called an emergency in-person caucus meeting of the National Party to address growing speculation about his leadership.
Facing mounting talk of a possible change at the top, Christopher Luxon ordered a face-to-face gathering of National Party MPs. The session, scheduled for Wednesday in Wellington, aims to quell the rumours that have intensified after a string of public missteps. Reports suggest party members have been reaching out to discuss a leadership shift. The meeting occurs roughly three months before the national election, adding pressure to resolve internal doubts.
Why it matters
The meeting could determine whether the governing party maintains its leader ahead of a crucial national election.
