Jacinda Ardern on track to claim huge win in New Zealand's COVID-19 election

Jacinda Ardern looks to have secured a thumping victory in New Zealand's election, with a second term as prime minister all but assured an hour after the polls closed.

Almost 2 million people had cast their votes before election day – a little under two-thirds of the electorate – in a poll dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 40-year-old prime minister appears to have successfully framed the election as a referendum on her government's handling of the pandemic and on who New Zealanders should trust to lead the economic recovery.

I’ve been keeping up with the news about her, through the NZ, Australian & UK media, since she was first elected.

She is an excellent example of how a woman can lead a nation through multiple and ongoing national and global crises.

You are a fortunate nation.
