On Friday, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern sworn in for a second term, after the final election results showed her the victory.
Ardern and her ministers made their oaths of office in English and Maori during a ceremony at Wellington’s Government House.
Ardern said: “I would say simply that sitting at this table is Aotearoa New Zealand,” gesturing to her gathered team.
She said: “They collectively represent a range of different perspectives, huge talent, enormous experience and, as you would expect in any time of crisis, a huge commitment to serving this country.”
Final results released Friday showed Ardern won 50.0 percent of the vote, up from 49.0 on election night, giving her 65 seats in the 120-strong parliament, rather than 64.
