  "account": "New Zealand's parliament is set to have 131 seats, 11 more than usual, after a preliminary count of votes. The conservative National Party and the social democratic Labour Party are almost tied with around 29% of the vote each. Over 400,000 special votes, which make up 14% of all votes, still need to be counted, and the official result is not expected until November 27. The new government's formation is uncertain, with the smaller parties, including the Opportunity Party, potentially playing a crucial role.",
  "summary": "Only one seat separates Prime Minister Luxon's camp from the majority. However, smaller parties and as yet uncounted votes could turn the government formation on its head.",
