The major parties are making their last pitch to voters, crisscrossing the country, trying to win over undecided Kiwis and convince them they deserve another three years in Government. 

But while the party leaders are focused on winning power, there’s another battle playing out behind the scenes: the fight for political survival. 

With both National and Labour polling well below their 2023 election results, a number of sitting MPs could find themselves out of a job come Saturday night. 

So, who’s at risk, and what could the final days of campaigning mean for the make-up of the next Parliament? 

Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB political reporter Ethan Griffiths is with us from the National Party tour bus.
