New Zealand election leaves parties awaiting final count

New Zealand’s general election has produced no clear winner, with preliminary results putting the two main parties close together. DW reported fewer than 4,000 votes separated them, while NBC News said a projection gave the ruling coalition a majority of just one seat. The BBC reported that the results pointed to a divided parliament and that coalition talks could last for weeks. DW said official results were due later in November, after special votes are counted.
