New Zealand PM
VS
Caucus dissenters
Christopher Luxon is the Prime Minister of New Zealand and the leader of the National Party.
The National Party's caucus, comprising its Members of Parliament, plays a key role in party decision-making and policy formation.
Caucus dissenters are National MPs who have expressed concerns about Luxon's leadership, prompting internal party discussions.
Luxon's leadership has faced renewed scrutiny, leading him to call an urgent in-person caucus meeting in Wellington.
During this meeting, a confidence vote was held, and Luxon survived, retaining his position as party leader.
The vote reflects internal party divisions over his performance and direction, with public polling showing only 16% of New Zealanders listing Luxon as their preferred leader.
