Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is expected to announce a Cabinet reshuffle on Thursday.
He would need to reallocate the portfolios held by Judith Collins, who was set to become president of the Law Commission in the middle of the year.
Collins was minister of Defence, the Public Service, the spy agencies, digitising government, and space – as well as the Attorney-General, the government’s top lawyer.
Shane Reti was also retiring from politics at the election, and Luxon may want to give the Universities, Science and Technology, Pacific Peoples and Statistics portfolios to someone else.
Cabinet currently had 20 ministers, there were eight ministers outside Cabinet, and there were two Parliamentary undersecretaries.
