As the New Zealand general elections scheduled for October 14 approach, the right-wing ACT Party is gaining significant traction, which could potentially influence the formation of the next government. The party, led by David Seymour, has seen a surge in popularity that may result in a shift of power, according to recent polls.

David Seymour, who gained public recognition through his participation in a popular dance competition show, is positioned to hold a key role in the ensuing administration. According to projections from recent polls, if the current ruling Labour Party is unseated, Seymour might ascend to a high-ranking position within the new government. His roles could range from a senior ministerial position to possibly even deputy prime minister.

The strong polling performance of Seymour's ACT Party suggests that their support would be crucial for the National Party to establish a governing coalition. This scenario underscores the increasing political significance of the ACT Party in New Zealand's electoral landscape. The potential shift in power indicates an evolving political climate as voters prepare for the upcoming elections on Monday.
