The final results of the October 14 New Zealand election have been released.
The National Party has won a total of 48 seats (down two from the preliminary election night results), Labour has won 34 (remaining steady), the Green Party has won 15 (up one), ACT has won 11 (steady), NZ First has won eight (steady) and te Pāti Māori/the Māori party has won six seats (up two).
These results mean National will need both ACT and NZ First to secure a ruling majority.
