National's campaign chair has clarified his earlier warnings of a second election.
The final vote count reveals National's dropped two seats to 48, which means it no longer has a majority with ACT's 11 and will need New Zealand First.
During the campaign Chris Bishop cautioned voters could be sent back to the polls if the three parties couldn't come to an arrangement.
Today he told Andrew Dickens that was only one scenario.
“As things have turned out, there have been really productive and constructive conversations between New Zealand First and National, and also between National and ACT, and so that is not a possibility.”
