Ms Genter said she and her partner, Peter Nunns, were expecting their first child in early August.

The 38-year-old said the pregnancy was a surprise.

Ms Genter said she would take three months off work after the baby was born, but still intended to run for the Green Party co-leadership.

She told Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern about the pregnancy when Ms Ardern announced her own.

Ms Genter had also previously shared the news with Green Party co-leader James Shaw.

She entered Parliament in 2011.
