Ardern, 42, said she had hoped she would have found a way to prepare for another term over the summer to lead on a "full tank," but that was not the case. "If no one is able to garner this level of support within caucus, the leadership contest will go to the wider membership," she said. She cited among the party's accomplishments the "most significant increases in welfare and the state housing stock that we've seen in many decades," as well as setting ambitious targets on climate change and making progress on "issues around our national identity."
