During that gathering, longtime MP and former leader Andrew Little announced his resignation from politics. In accordance with Labour Party rules, a leadership vote will be held within three months of the election loss. "The leader is the leader until they're not, and I'm certainly still the leader of the Labour Party," Hipkins said. "I'm still committed to supporting the Labour Party in opposition and I've still got a bit of fight left in me."
