From Checkpoint, 6:09 pm on 21 May 2020

On Friday National Party leader Simon Bridges' fate will be decided after he forced the hand of potential challengers calling all his MPs back to Wellington to decide the issue.

Bay of Plenty MP Todd Muller wants the job and was in the capital on Thursday making his case to his colleagues.

Things came to head after a Newshub-Reid Research poll that was disastrous for National.

The 1-News Colmar Brunton poll is just out, showing Labour at 59 percent and National at 29 percent.

RNZ political reporter Jo Moir has the details.
