The Opportunity Party

Rule Changes

Opportunity won 5.96% and seven seats; on November 8 Wong said the party would talk to the largest party first and that a coalition, confidence and supply or cross benches were all options.

Preliminary results on November 7 left National and Labour nearly tied, with BBC News reporting a low national mood and voters deserting the major parties: Labour 29.36% and National 29.21%. National was projected to win 42 seats and Labour 36 in a 131-seat Parliament, with the National-led bloc of National, ACT and New Zealand First holding 67 seats, a one-seat majority. About 399,000 special votes, roughly 14% of the total, remain to be counted before the official result on November 27.
