New Zealand PM Survives Vote

Luxon called for the caucus vote to end weeks of speculation and internal friction regarding his leadership ahead of the general election.

While he secured the continued support of his party's lawmakers, political analysts suggest the challenge highlights deep-seated concerns about the administration's performance.

Key ministers have publicly affirmed their unity, though the exact margin of the vote was not disclosed.

Luxon now faces the difficult task of rebuilding public trust as the country grapples with rising living costs and economic uncertainty.
