Chris Hipkins has been sworn in as New Zealand's 41st Prime Minister.

The 44-year-old was formally appointed to the role in Wellington, a week after Jacinda Ardern's shock resignation.

Ardern had said she no longer has "enough in the tank" to lead the country.

The country's governor-general Cindy Kiro accepted her formal resignation on Wednesday.

Hipkins built a reputation as the minister who led New Zealand's Covid-19 strategy.
