Barry Soper: senior political correspondent on the chances of Chris Hipkins winning the election

Description:

Following Jacinda Ardern's abrupt resignation, Chris Hipkins has taken over as Prime Minister in the lead-up to the 2023 election.

Chris Hipkins is currently the leader of the Labour Party and will be responsible for ensuring that Labour gets a third term in Government.

However, ZB's senior political correspondent Barry Soper says that Chris Hipkins winning the election for Labour is unlikely, as he won't be able to distance himself from the unpopular polices associated with the Government.

Soper suggests that Hipkins could modify or scrap divisive policies like Three Waters or the TVNZ/RNZ merger, but the damage has been done.
