Opposition leader concedes defeat in New Zealand vote
Opposition leader David Cunliffe conceded defeat in New Zealand’s general election on Saturday, admitting his centre-left Labour Party could not form a government.
“We will not be able to form a government,” Cunliffe told Labour supporters as the centre-right National Party led by Prime Minister John Key held around 48 percent of the vote — sufficient to rule alone without coalition partners.
“I have called John Key and congratulated him and acknowledged he will continue to be prime minister of New Zealand.”
