The 2016 New Zealand National Party leadership election was held on 12 December 2016 to determine the next Leader of the National Party and the 39th Prime Minister of New Zealand. A secret exhaustive ballot of the 59-member National parliamentary caucus was to be used in the event of a contested leadership.[1]
The election followed the resignation announcement of Prime Minister and parliamentary leader John Key on 5 December 2016.[2] Deputy Prime Minister Bill English became the sole candidate and was elected, following the 8 December withdrawal of Police Minister Judith Collins and Health Minister Jonathan Coleman.[3] Paula Bennett was appointed as the new deputy leader, replacing English in this position.
