  SYDNEY (Reuters) -David Seymour, leader of the libertarian ACT New Zealand party, was sworn in as deputy prime minister on Saturday, taking the role from Winston Peters in a deal struck when the three-party coalition government was formed in 2023. Seymour was appointed in a ceremony at Auckland's Government House, a spokesperson told Reuters. ACT Zealand is the junior partner in the centre-right ruling coalition that also includes the Peters-led Zealand First and the National Party, led by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.

On January 25, 2023, New Zealand swore in Carmel Sepuloni as its new Deputy Prime Minister, marking the first time a person of Pacific Island descent has held this position. Sepuloni, who is of Samoan, Tongan, and New Zealand European heritage, was appointed by Prime Minister Chris Hipkins, who took office after Jacinda Ardern's unexpected resignation. Sepuloni will continue her roles as Minister for Social Development and Employment, Arts, Culture and Heritage, and ACC, while also taking on additional responsibilities in the wake of a cabinet reshuffle.
