New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has won a landslide victory in the country's general election.
With most ballots tallied, Ms Ardern's centre-left Labour Party has won 49% of the vote and she is projected to win a rare outright parliamentary majority.
The opposition centre-right National Party, currently on 27%, has admitted defeat in Saturday's poll.
The vote was originally due to be in September, but was postponed by a month after a renewed Covid-19 outbreak.
The polls opened at 09:00 local time (20:00 GMT Friday) and closed at 19:00.
More than a million people had already voted in early polling which opened up on 3 October.
New Zealanders were also asked to vote in two referendums alongside the general election. (BBC)
