The first-term MP is taking over the leadership, with Wellington-based MP Nicola Willis as his deputy.
Luxon's differentiating himself from previous leaders, saying each person has a unique set of skills.

“He has what I see as a cut-through leader at the political level, and that’s the ability to get to the nub of the problem. You don't always like the solution, of course.”
