Labour leader Chris Hipkins faces the biggest challenge of his political career on Saturday.
The results of this year's election will be revealed and Hipkins will be hoping Labour's relatively poor polling isn't replicated in the official figures.
But before the results are revealed, Newshub sat down for an interview with the incumbent Prime Minister. We hear about his dogs, where his "trouble" with pastries may have started, and how he didn't sleep for weeks during the first stage of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of a series of interviews with political party leaders, Newshub political reporter Amelia Wade had a beer with Hipkins to get to know him a little better.
Watch the full video above, and other videos in this series below. National's Christopher Luxon didn't participate.
