Chris Luxon: National Party leader on Chris Hipkins being appointed as Prime Minister and Labour's new leader - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

The Labour caucus is set to meet in Parliament at 1pm to formally confirm Chris Hipkins as Jacinda Ardern's successor for the title of Prime Minister.

Chris Hipkins was the sole nominee for the role following Jacinda Ardern's resignation announcement on Thursday.

National leader Chris Luxon says that a change in leadership isn't going to impact Labour's chances in the upcoming election and that Kiwi voters will still feel that Labour has failed to deliver while in office.

"It doesn't matter whether you look at education, whether you look at crime, whether you look at housing, whether you look at health or our economy, New Zealanders are going backwards. From my point of view, nothing really changes."
