Ardern, leader of the New Zealand Labour Party, became Prime Minister in October 2017 after a close-fought election.
She rose exceptionally quickly through the ranks of New Zealand politics, seizing the country's highest office less than a year after entering parliament. Ardern was elected MP for Mount Albert, a suburb of Auckland, at a by-election in February 2017. She was elected Labour leader in August, and entered a general election campaign shortly after.
Since taking over as leader, she has been applauded for being an outspoken voice against sexism and racism, swiftly banned military-style semiautomatic and assault rifles after the Christchurch shooting, and welcomed a daughter. Read more about her life and ascent to power here.
