There'll be no Government announced on Thursday.
Winston Peters told Newstalkzb's political editor Barry Soper he still expects the talks to be wrapped up tomorrow but there'll be no immediate announcement.
"Our target is to complete all these discussions by Thursday night, nothings changed."
When questioned by Soaper whether he will be making an announcement on Thursday , Peters replied "not on Thursday night, no."
When asked when he would be making the announcement Peters said they still have "a few logistical things to workout but as soon as possible after that."
Two coalition meetings with National and Labour are set down for today after New Zealand First met into the night with National.
Peters and his team will again meet with National this morning and Labour this afternoon with a decision scheduled sometime tomorrow.
Mr Peters said it's tough but he can't avoid his responsibilities.
"We've got to make a decision. We're hardened to this, this party has been around a long time - in our 25th year. So we fully expect it. So we just want to make sure the people out there and the media understand as well."
