New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern calls for a vote that will test whether her widespread popularity overseas is matched by support at home

"I will be asking New Zealanders to continue to support my leadership and the current direction of the government, which is grounded in stability, a strong economy and progress on the long term challenges facing New Zealand," Ardern said. Bridges reacted to the election announcement by pledging to lead a government that "will deliver" on its promises
