威靈頓，11月9日（路透社）——數十名新當選的國會議員本週將開始抵達紐西蘭國會；與此同時，紐西蘭仍須等待數週，才會知道誰將執政。這場選舉讓現任中間偏右陣營僅以極微弱優勢領先。WELLINGTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Dozens of newly elected lawmakers will start to arrive at New Zealand's parliament this week, even as the country faces a weeks-long wait to learn who will govern after an election that left the incumbent centre-right bloc with a razor-thin lead.

初步結果顯示，總理克里斯多福・盧克森（Christopher Luxon）所屬的國家黨（National Party）、行動紐西蘭黨（ACT New Zealand）與紐西蘭優先黨（New Zealand First），在131席國會中共取得67席，比取得多數所需的66席多出1席。Preliminary results gave Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's National Party, ACT New Zealand and New Zealand First 67 seats in a 131-seat parliament, one more than the 66 required for a majority.

但仍有近40萬張選票尚未計算，約占總數14%，官方結果要到11月27日才會公布。盧克森與工黨（Labour）黨魁克里斯・希普金斯（Chris Hipkins）都表示，他們會等到最終結果出爐後，才展開正式的聯合組閣談判。But almost 400,000 votes, or around 14% of the total, have yet to be counted, and official results are not due until November 27. Both Luxon and Labour leader Chris Hipkins have said they would wait for final results before entering formal coalition negotiations.

這項膠著結果讓即將就任的議員面臨一段不確定期，其中包括中間派機會黨（Opportunity Party）的7名議員。該黨跨過5%門檻，首度進入國會。The tight result has created a period of uncertainty for incoming legislators, including seven from the centrist Opportunity Party, which crossed the 5% threshold to enter parliament for the first time.

機會黨黨魁 Qiulae Wong 是政壇新人；若最終計票改變選舉結果，她可能成為關鍵角色。她表示，黨團正在威靈頓開會，開始為進入國會做準備。Opportunity leader Qiulae Wong, a political newcomer who could become pivotal if the final vote changes the outcome, said her caucus was meeting in Wellington to begin preparing for parliament.

Wong 在記者會上表示，她已接到希普金斯與綠黨共同黨魁克蘿伊・斯沃布里克（Chloe Swarbrick）的電話，但尚未收到任何其他領袖的消息，包括盧克森。她補充說：「我記得他說很快就會打來。」Wong told a press conference that she had received calls from Hipkins and Green Party co-leader Chloe Swarbrick but had not heard from any other leaders, including Luxon. "I believe he said he was going to call shortly," she added.

這場選舉凸顯選民對兩大主要政黨的不滿。隨著選民尋求新的解方，以因應經濟疲弱、生活成本上升與醫療體系吃緊等問題，支持票流向政治光譜各方的小黨。工黨在總得票數上以些微差距領先國家黨，但國家黨取得足夠選區席次，使其三黨陣營仍以些微優勢領先。The election has underlined voters' frustration with the two dominant parties, with support flowing to smaller parties across the political spectrum as voters looked for new solutions to problems, such as the weak economy, rising costs and strained healthcare. Labour narrowly led National in the popular vote, but National secured enough electorate seats to keep its three-party bloc marginally ahead.

尚未承認敗選的希普金斯週一表示：「說到底，我們只能依選民發給我們的牌來打。我們還不知道那些牌最後會顯示什麼。」希普金斯說，他仍樂觀認為最終計票可能有利於左翼；若果真如此，他希望能在耶誕節前組成政府。"At the end of the day, we play the cards that the voters have dealt us. We don't yet know what those cards are going to show," Hipkins, who has not conceded the election, said on Monday. Hipkins said he remains optimistic the final vote count could favour the left, and if it does, would like to see a government in by Christmas.

市場密切關注政治不確定性MARKETS ON WATCH

投資人正密切關注政治不確定性，尤其是在紐西蘭元承壓，以及外界對財政政策方向存疑之際。Investors are watching the political uncertainty closely, particularly given pressure on the New Zealand dollar and questions about the direction of fiscal policy.

紐西蘭西太平洋銀行（Westpac Bank）首席經濟學家凱利・艾克霍德（Kelly Eckhold）表示，隨著紐西蘭釐清選舉結果，未來幾週市場將緊張觀望，其中匯率尤其是焦點。Kelly Eckhold, chief economist at Westpac Bank in New Zealand, said markets would be on edge over the next couple of weeks as the country worked out the result, with the exchange rate a particular focus.

他說：「最後我們很可能會出現某種形式的中間偏右政府。問題在於：這是否需要 TOP（機會黨）的支持？而為了達成這一點，又需要同意哪些條件？」"The likelihood is that we will end up with some sort of centre-right government. The question will be: Will it require the support of TOP (Opportunity)? And what will be required to be agreed to be able to get there?" he said.

紐西蘭財政部長尼古拉・威利斯（Nicola Willis）週六晚間失去席次後，經濟顧問公司 Infometrics 首席經濟學家布拉德・奧爾森（Brad Olsen）表示，目前更大的問題是誰將成為下一任財政部長。After New Zealand Finance Minister Nicola Willis lost her seat on Saturday night, Brad Olsen, chief economist at economic consultancy Infometrics, said the bigger question at the moment was who is going to be the next finance minister.

威利斯將繼續留任，直到她的部長任命狀在4週後到期；之後在總督同意後，該職將由看守政府內其他人接任，直到新政府組成為止。Willis will remain in the job until her ministerial warrant expires in four weeks' time and then the role will be taken on by someone else within the caretaker-government following agreement from the Governor General until a government is formed.
