Preliminary results from New Zealand’s November 7 general election under the MMP system show the Green Party securing the third-highest seat total at 16, well ahead of ACT on 13 and New Zealand First on 12. This aligns with consistent pre-election polling aggregates placing Greens in the mid-teens in party vote share, ahead of ACT near 10 percent and New Zealand First near 9-10 percent, while Labour and National led. The Green outcome stems from strong list-seat allocation and electorate performances that outpaced rivals in the final count. Trader consensus at 99 percent reflects the preliminary ranking, with official results due November 27 after special votes. Shifts remain possible only if special votes or recounts dramatically alter seat allocations among minor parties, though historical patterns suggest limited impact on the third-place position.
