Nov 23 (Reuters) – Talks to form a government in New
Zealand have concluded and the parties were now going through
their processes for a final signoff that could be done later on
Thursday, the leaders of the National Party, New Zealand First
and ACT New Zealand said.
“Subject to agreement by all parties, a signing ceremony
will take place tomorrow at Parliament,” the joint statement
said.
National won the largest share of votes in New Zealand’s
Oct. 14 general election but needed the support of both NZ First
and ACT to form a government.
