Jacinda Ardern’s popularity has skyrocketed during her three years as Prime Minister of New Zealand.
And now people have clearly said their thing: you can stay another three years.
Jacinda Ardern became New Zealand’s second youngest leader of all time when she took office as Prime Minister at the age of 37 in October 2017. She promised her supporters “relentless positivity”, and during her tenure she has had time to commit and have children.
But the three years have also brought tough challenges. About mid-term came the mosque shooting in Christchurch, where 50 people were killed, and then the deadly volcanic eruption on White Island.
In both cases, she has been praised for her handling of situations.
Strict rules
Then came covid-19. The Prime Minister quickly introduced strict quarantine rules and decided to exclude foreigners to keep the infection away, decisions that have received strong support from the population.
“There was no manual for covid-19, but we went in early and hard and embarked on an elimination strategy, which meant we rounded up new cases when we had them, trampled them, and opened our economy faster than others,” he said . Jacinda Ardern according to Reuters in a campaign appearance in the capital Wellington before the elections.
Social networks
His election campaign has largely highlighted the success of curbing the spread of the coronavirus.
– I will always maintain that it has been and will continue to be the best way to do it.
During the crown crisis, Ardern, whose social media following has only grown in recent months, has repeatedly urged New Zealanders to be “nice” and urged people to come together in what she calls a “team. five million. “
So far, just over 1,500 people have been diagnosed with Covid-19 in New Zealand and at least 25 infected people have died, very low numbers compared to many other countries.
