Opportunity Party Could Be the Key | Auckland News

The Verian poll reveals the Opportunity Party could be the make-or-break swing vote in New Zealand’s political race, sitting at 8% alongside NZ First — enough to push Labour or National over the 65-seat threshold if they team up. With Labour at 30%, Greens at 12%, and Te Pāti Māori adding to that, they’re just shy of a majority without Opportunity. Meanwhile, Christopher Luxon’s leadership is under fire — he survived a no-confidence vote after facing a leadership challenge from Chris Penk, who lost his ministerial roles. Luxon’s approval has dropped to 17%, while David Seymour’s slightly rose and Winston Peters’ dipped. Paul Goldsmith now holds key portfolios including Defence and Veterans, signaling a reshuffling of power as the political landscape tightens around the crucial Opportunity Party.
