新西兰总理克里斯托弗·卢克森周三在国家党召开的秘密党团会议中经历了领导力投票,并宣布获得全党议员的充分支持[1]。这是卢克森自4月以来第二次就自身领导地位发起投票[1]。卢克森在会议上表示:"我获得了我们全党团的充分支持,我们的党团是统一的,决心赢得这次选举"[1]。
距离11月7日大选仅有90天之际,卢克森在社交媒体X平台上强调:"我坚定相信分裂和不团结是仅距选举90天时的重大干扰"[1]。国家党自2023年选举以来一直领导右翼联合政府[1]。卢克森为前航空公司高管,2000年进入议会,2021年领导该党[1]。
New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon faced a leadership vote within his center-right National Party during a closed caucus meeting on Wednesday [1]. Luxon declared that he had secured the full backing of all party MPs, stating "I have got the full support of our caucus, our caucus is united, and we are determined to win this election" [1].
This marks the second leadership vote Luxon has called since April [1], occurring just 90 days before New Zealand's general election scheduled for November 7 [1]. Luxon warned that "division and disunity at 90 days out from an election is a major distraction," posting his comments on the X platform [1]. The National Party has led the right-wing coalition government since the 2023 election [1]. Luxon, a former airline executive who entered Parliament in 2000, assumed leadership of the party in 2021 [1].
