National has lost 2 seats, while TMP has gained 2, and the Green party has gained 1. NACT now need NZF to govern.

Rachel Boyack has won Nelson by 21 votes, and Phil Twyford has won Te Atatū by 131 votes.

122 seats because of the overhang, which will rise to 123 after the Port Waikato by-election.

    Biggest disappointment is turnout. 72% is the lowest of the MMP era by a long way…

    I also love how Luxon kept saying “The special vote counting is taking too long! Wah!” and now he’s like “This is very serious, we need to take our time forming a government”… classic upper management 🤣

    Edit: the RNZ article is possibly wrong about turnout, I think it’s 78.2% (they said 72.8%)… can’t find the official figure though.

      You’re right, they have typo’d it. It’s listed at 78.2% on this page (official media release).
