Following a swiftly executed coup on Friday, Todd Muller toppled Simon Bridges for the National Party leadership. This followed two polls last week that saw National trailing Labour by around 25 percentage points, and in the second, the Colmar Brunton poll last Thursday, National was dipping into the twenties. Kathryn talks to Todd Muller, about his political path. From student politican turned staffer in the office of the-then Prime Minister Jim Bolger while in his twenties, he went on to hold management positions at Zespri and in Fonterra. He won the Bay of Plenty seat and entered Parliament in 2014, and has no ministerial experience.
