雅登证实,副总理的人选已经确认是新西兰优先党的党魁韦斯顿.皮特斯,新政府的内阁人选将在周五的党内核心小组会议中进行讨论。

雅登表示,她很荣幸能胜选总理职位。

“我感到非常荣幸能够在总理这个位置上,组成一个以工党为首的政府,我想感谢所有那些在选举和协商期间给工党支持的人,我们在所强烈相信的议题上做了积极的努力和宣传,现在我们对即将承担的责任十分重视。”[videocard video="1076644931947"]

新西兰优先党的党魁皮特斯支持工党政府的决定,打破了新西兰近十年的规则。他说这个决定是新西兰人民的。

“我们可以做出一个选择,不管是和国家党还是工党,修正现状或者改变,在我们的协商中,国家党或者工党都呈现了这样的机会,为了新西兰一起努力合作,这也是为什么最终我们选择和工党政府一起组成联盟党政府。”

与此同时,在雅登当选后,澳大利亚外长毕晓普告诉九号网络,她期待和新政府的合作。

“我恭喜雅登当选为新任总理,我们和新西兰有很强和深厚的关系,我期待和新西兰新政府的合作。”

毕晓普还在社交媒体上称,说她与新的新西兰政府的关系将会紧张的说法是“一派胡言”。因为在今年八月,毕晓普曾经谴责新西兰反对党和澳洲工党勾结,企图将深陷双重国籍争议的国家党领袖乔伊斯赶下台,阴谋破坏她的政府。

雅登已经示意,她在当选后会尽快访问澳大利亚。
