After 9 years New Zealanders will get to taste a new form of governance as National Party leader John Key won a decisive victory.
The former investment banker said that despite the various challenges, New Zealand has voted for a safer, more prosperous and ambitious country.
This is what Key had to say in his address to the hundreds of his party faithful, telling them that there would be a new National-led Government.
Meanwhile, Outgoing Prime Minister Helen Clark announced that she was not only making way for Key but also stepping down as Labour leader.
National secured 45.5% of Party vote with Labour getting 33.8% which means that that gives a potential National led Government, 65 of the 120 available seats in Parliament.
