Après la lourde défaite travailliste de 2023, Hipkins reste à la tête du Labour Party et conduit l’opposition jusqu’à la campagne de 2026. Il entreprend une réorientation du parti vers le coût de la vie, les services publics et une nouvelle taxe sur les plus-values. En septembre 2026, il reconnaît que son gouvernement avait été trop lent à déplacer son attention de la gestion du COVID vers la pression du coût de la vie.
