John Key Prime Minister
Posted by Lee Suckling on November 19th, 2008
At 11.08am this morning, Prime Minister-elect John Key signed his warrant of office and just seven minutes later was sworn in under oath as the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
John Key is the youngest PM New Zealand has ever seen at just 47 years old, the same age as recent President-elect of the United States, Barack Obama. Prime Minister Key is the 38th sworn into the role in New Zealand history.
Alongside Act and the Maori Party, the National party will govern New Zealand over the next three years. Helen Clark of the Labour party officially resigned her ministers’ warrants earlier this morning at Government House.
