Labour gains in latest New Zealand poll before vote, results remain too close to call

-

WELLINGTON, Nov ‌6 (Reuters) - New Zealand's opposition Labour ​Party gained slightly in the latest the Post-Freshwater ⁠Strategy poll released on Friday, but polling still shows no clear outcome for ​the election.

• New Zealand's general election will be ‌held on Saturday with voting closing at 7 p.m. (0600 GMT) and results expected to start ⁠coming in soon after

• ⁠The poll, conducted with Infrastructure New Zealand, put Labour up 2 percentage points at 30.7%, compared with the governing National ‌down 1.2 points at 26.4%. New Zealand ⁠First was at 12%, ‌ACT was at 9.8%, and ​Te Pati Maori sat at 2%

• The Opportunity Party was at 5.1%, just above ‌the threshold for representation ​in parliament. If ⁠it gets into parliament then it ‌is likely to ⁠hold the role of kingmaker

• Advance voting has been underway since October 26. New ​Zealand Electoral Commission ‌data showed 1.44 million people had voted ⁠as of the end ​of Wednesday
