ニュージーランド(NZ)議会(一院制、基本定数120)の総選挙が7日、行われた。即日開票され、ラクソン首相率いる中道右派の国民党を中心とする連立与党3党がリードしているが、過半数獲得は微妙な情勢だ。中道左派の労働党などの野党陣営と接戦のため、結果確定は今月下旬の見通し。新興中道勢力オポチュニティー党は初の議席獲得を確実にした。政権枠組みは連立交渉に委ねられる可能性がある。

選挙は、比例代表をベースとした小選挙区比例代表併用制で実施。当選者は基本定数の120を上回る130程度となる公算が大きい。

選管によると、開票率99%段階の暫定的な議席見込みは、国民党42、ACT党13、NZファースト12で、与党合計は67。これに対し、労働党36、緑の党16、先住民政党・マオリ党5で、野党合計は57。オポチュニティー党は7。在外投票を含む全投票の集計後に変動する可能性があり、与党の過半数確保は未確定だ。

ラクソン氏は支持者に対し「われわれは次期政権への途上にあるが、まだ差が小さ過ぎる」と述べ、確定結果を待つ意向を示した。労働党のヒプキンス党首も「次期政権の形はまだ分からない」と述べた。

連立交渉にもつれた場合、オポチュニティー党がキャスチングボートを握りそうだ。ウォン党首は支持者に「皆さんが国を良く変えるよう投票してくれた」と語った。

China has strongly demanded a retraction of the statement, and Japan-China relations are at a stalemate. There is a growing view that it will be difficult to hold a summit meeting in conjunction with APEC, which starts on the 18th.

Consumption tax cut goes to ``Honmaru'' House of Councilors, public/national cooperation remains unclear

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced the expansion of the ``employee burden reduction support subsidy'' for middle- and low-income earners, making a compromise with Komeito. However, all opposition parties opposed it, and even the Liberal Democratic Party rebelled. In the House of Councilors, the Japanese Conservative Party voted in favor of the bill, leaving them with just two seats left for a majority.
