Career

Christopher Hipkins, the 41st Prime Minister of New Zealand, served in the role from January to November 2023.

Before his time as Prime Minister, Hipkins held several influential Cabinet positions, including Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Education from 2017-2023, and Minister for Health and the COVID-19 Response from 2020-2022.

Hipkins, a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Remutaka electorate since 2008, is generally viewed as a centrist politician and an “arch-pragmatist.” This pragmatic approach was evident during his brief tenure as Prime Minister, as he emphasized “bread and butter” issues, such as the cost of living, in an apparent effort to retain or regain the support of centrist swing voters.

Hipkins‘ premiership came at a time of deepening political polarization in New Zealand, and he has described himself as becoming more moderate.

His pragmatic, centrist approach during his time as some observers saw Prime Minister as an attempt to appeal to the key swing voters who had shifted from the National Party to Labour in the 2020 election.

Despite the challenges posed by the deepening political divisions, Hipkins‘ tenure as Prime Minister was marked by his efforts to find common ground and appeal to a broad spectrum of voters.
