Wellington | New Zealand’s main opposition National Party will get its fourth leader in less than two years, continuing a period of instability that has helped boost support for Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s governing Labour Party.

National Party members of parliament ousted Judith Collins as leader in a caucus meeting on Thursday, her deputy Shane Reti told a news conference. Mr Reti will serve as interim leader before caucus meets to elect a permanent replacement on November 30, he said.
