Chris Hipkins is our new Prime Minister. Jacinda Ardern resigned in January this year and a few days later Chris Hipkins agreed to become our next Prime Minister. He chose Carmel Sepuloni as the deputy Prime Minister.
Chris Hipkins is aged 44. He lives in Upper Hutt, which is in the Wellington area, and has 2 young children. All his formal education was in the Wellington region including at a primary school and high school in the Hutt Valley and then at Victoria University where he majored in politics and criminology. He was elected to Parliament in 2008. Since then, he has been Minister of Education, Minister of Police and leader of the House (of Parliament). Another responsibility for him was to try to eliminate COVID in New Zealand.
Carmel Sepuloni was born in Waitara. Her father was a migrant with a Samoan and Tongan background and her mother was a Pakeha New Zealander. Carmel is a teacher and has taught in Samoa and New Zealand. Since she starting working in parliament, she has served as Minister for Social Development and Employment, Minister for ACC, Minister for Disability Issues, and Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage.
