The preliminary results from New Zealand’s November 7 general election placed the Green Party third with 13.3% of the party vote, ahead of ACT on 10.9% and New Zealand First on 9.8%, under the MMP system. This outcome aligned with late polling trends showing sustained Green support in the low-to-mid teens while other minor parties clustered lower. With roughly 399,000 special votes still to be counted and official results due November 27, historical patterns suggest limited scope for major shifts in party-vote shares. Trader consensus reflects the substantial margin already recorded on election night, though a highly unusual special-vote swing would be required to alter the ranking.
