Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she will not be seeking re-election and will stand down by February 7. 

The Labour caucus will now ascertain whether any candidate has more than two-thirds of the caucus support. The caucus will vote on January 22. If a leader is successfully elected, Ardern will issue her resignation to the Governor-General. If no one can get this level of support, the contest will go to the wider membership.
