The new coalition government is being sworn in by Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro during a formal ceremony.

It follows weeks of coalition talks between National, ACT and New Zealand First.

Party leaders Christopher Luxon, David Seymour and Winston Peters fronted media last Friday to confirm how the new government would look and policies it would be delivering.

The swearing-in ceremony is taking place at Government House in Wellington.

During the ceremony, Dame Cindy will appoint Luxon as Prime Minister and as an executive councillor.

It will also see the new executive council appointed, where members will take their oaths and affirmations.

The appointment of executive councillors to their ministerial portfolios, and Parliamentary Under-Secretaries being appointed will also take place.
