National Party MPs have been summoned for an "urgent in-person" caucus meeting in Wellington.It comes amid renewed pressure on Christopher Luxon's leadership.Luxon wrote on social media on Tuesday, after postponing various prior arrangements, that it was "clear from various media reports and conversations there is increased speculation about my leadership"."It is my firm belief that division and disunity are a major distraction only 90 days out from the election."I also believe this distraction is unfair to the New Zealand people, and dedicated National Party candidates, supporters and volunteers, when there is so much at stake."For those reasons, he wrote, the issue "needs to be resolved quickly"."I am calling an urgent in-person Caucus meeting tomorrow at 9:30am in Wellington to resolve the issue."Moments before the social media post was published, Luxon's team abruptly postponed an RNZ podcast interview which had been scheduled for this afternoon.
