New Zealand PM Luxon Faces Lawmakers Amid Leadership Speculation The halls of power in Wellington are abuzz with whispers of a leadership challenge to Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.
A meeting scheduled for August 12 between Luxon and National Party lawmakers is seen as an opportunity for the embattled leader to address concerns about his tenure.
Luxon's troubles began months ago, when his party's support faltered due to sluggish economic growth and rising unemployment, now at an 11 year high.
