- After a series of recent missteps and clashes with coalition partners, there is no obvious single challenger, and another confidence vote for Luxon remains uncertain four months after the last one.
- Nicola Willis has built a profile as Finance Minister and a strong communicator, but her close association with Luxon and her Wellington residence could count against her.
- Chris Bishop is regarded as a dependable media performer with major portfolios, while many in the caucus still view his role in Todd Muller’s brief leadership attempt critically.
- Erica Stanford is regarded as a potential contender because of her work in education and immigration, while Simeon Brown and Mark Mitchell are considered more likely deputy options.
