Luxon’s Future in Question as Caucus Meets | Auckland News
from Auckland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
National Party MPs are urgently gathering in Wellington for a caucus meeting to decide the future of leader Christopher Luxon, as reports surface that some members are pushing for his replacement—just 90 days before the general election. Luxon, who arrived yesterday and declined to comment on his support base, warned that division is a dangerous distraction at this critical time. Speculation swirls around potential successors like Chris Bishop and Erica Stanford, though both deny ambitions. While figures like Nicola Willis and Mark Mitchell back Luxon, others—including Tim van de Molen—remain ambiguous. Coalition partner ACT’s David Seymour urged unity, warning voters may see internal strife as damaging—even if it doesn’t tarnish the coalition’s overall image. The meeting is now underway as tensions simmer. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
