New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins joined a Zumba dance class while rival Christopher Luxon hugged supporters on the final day of campaigning before a general election
Prime Minister Chris Hipkins looked to be about a half-beat behind when, with a grin, he joined in a Zumba dance class Friday on the last day of campaigning before New Zealand's general election. “I'm sure you'll choose the best shots, when I'm at my most coordinated,” Hipkins joked with reporters after the event at an Auckland market.
Hipkins says he won't strike a deal with Peters and that a three-party alliance to put Luxon in power would be a “coalition of chaos.” A win by Luxon would also end the legacy of Jacinda Ardern, who became a liberal icon to many around the world. After five years as prime minister and with her popularity waning, Ardern unexpectedly stepped down in January, leaving Hipkins, a trusted lieutenant, to take over.
