Coverage so far

New Zealand’s polls closed on 7 November, and vote counting followed in a closely contested general election. Xinhua reported preliminary results showing the National-led coalition had won re-election, while The Guardian said National would be the largest party in parliament but the shape of the next government was still unresolved. DW reported that, with 95% of votes counted, the two main parties were separated by fewer than 4,000 votes, and said official results were expected later in the month after special votes were counted.
