New Zealand's election remains too close to call, with incumbent PM Christopher Luxon's centre-right National Party and Chris Hipkins' centre-left Labour Party neck-and-neck. Latest Electoral Commission data shows a slight lead for National in overall votes, but the country's proportional system often forces coalitions, meaning Labour could still take power. The centrist Opportunity Party, led by Qiulae Wong, crossed the 5% threshold to enter parliament for the first time and may hold sway in coalition talks.
