[Incumbent prime minister Chris Hipkins,
of Labour, phoned National's leader
Chris Luxon to concede defeat.
Mr Luxon thanked National voters and said
they had "reached for hope and you
have voted for change".

It marks a rapid elevation for Mr Luxon,
who became an MP in 2020 and then
National leader a year later.]
