New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon commented on the country's economic growth performance and the upcoming election in a statement posted on his social media account.

Stating that the economy was growing faster than those of Australia, the United Kingdom and the US, Luxon highlighted the contribution of businesses across the country to this development. Luxon said the achievements of several businesses had been celebrated at the Indian NewsLink Business Awards event in Manukau.

Arguing that the election would be a choice between the National Party and the Labour Party, Luxon said the National Party was maintaining its policies of economic growth and introducing no new taxes, while claiming that the Labour Party would bring more debt and nine new taxes.

Luxon called on voters to continue with the plan and urged them to vote for the National Party.
