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.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A third of Royal New Zealand Navy ships are docked due to a shortage of sailors, causing a loss of “significant flexibility,” the service’s top officer told Defense News.
Last month, the 279-foot offshore patrol vessel HMNZS Wellington became the third ship to enter a period of idleness, joining the Navy’s other offshore patrol vessel HMNZS Otago and one of the two remaining 180-foot inshore patrol vessels, HMNZS Hawea.
