Deciding on a process for electing Jacinda Ardern's ultimate successor will be up for discussion at the Labour Party's annual conference this weekend. 

Party members will meet online, to vote on a proposed change to how Labour elects its leaders when the time comes for Ardern to go. 

It would allow a new leader to be elected by caucus alone if more than two thirds of caucus voted for a new leader within a week of the job coming up. 

Political commentator Peter Dunne told Kate Hawkesby they'll also be discussing how to sell the party's bold reform agenda. 

“They’ve got to get out there and try shift the focus off being a ‘Covid Government’ to a government that’s got policies on a whole range of other areas they’re seeking to implement.” 

The centrepiece of the conference will be Ardern's keynote speech tomorrow afternoon.
