Jacinda Ardern pregnancy: Winston Peters gets his chance as Prime Minister

Brian from New Lynn

New Zealand First Leader and Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters will be thrust into the top position after Jacinda Ardern announced she's pregnant and the baby is due in June. Mr Peters will step in as acting Prime Minister for six weeks while Ms Ardern takes leave when the baby is expected in June. However the prospect is concerning for many New Zealanders. Ms Ardern says she found out her pregancy on October 13, during coalition talks with Winston Peters - and it played on her mind during the negotiations. "People will probably look at the timing," she says. She then told Mr Peters before making her public pregnancy announcement.
