. “I think the most important thing is that we focus on the process, it is swift, that [it] ensures that the team is able to move quickly back to focusing on the issues that matter for New Zealanders,” she said., says that the country’s deputy prime minister Grant Robertson would have been the most likely choice. But Robertson has ruled himself out, as has deputy party leader Kelvin Davis. Political commentators say that several current ministers are potential candidates.
That includes Kiri Allan, the minister for justice, who if elected would become the country’s first openly gay leader and its first prime minister of Māori descent.

Right: Kiri Allan speaks to media in Wellington, N.Z., on Dec. 1, 2020.Another possible contender is Chris Hipkins, the minister of education and police, who was appointed the minister for COVID-19 in late 2020.
