Nicola Willis: National Deputy Leader says the election will come down to the wire following latest One News Verian Poll

It's looking increasingly likely Chris Luxon will have to pick up the phone to Winston Peters next month.

Tonight's One News/ Verian Poll shows New Zealand First is on 6 percent - up a point - and remaining in a kingmaker position.

Labour and National have both dropped 1 point - to 26 and and 36 percent- and Act's steady on 12.

The Greens are on 13, and Te Pati Maori is at 2 percent.

National Deputy Leader Nicola Willis says it shows the election will come down to the wire.

"People listening need to know- if you want a change of Government, you are going to have to vote for it, and that's a party vote for National. Because any other vote could put a change of Government at risk."
