Henry Sewell was the first leader of New Zealand, but in his time this position was known as "Premier". It was during Richard Seddon's tenure (1 May 1893 - 10 June 1906) that the term "Prime Minister" became the official title for New Zealand's leader.

Three people were prime ministers of New Zealand in 1972. Keith Holyoake ended his 12 year term on February 7th, Norman Kirk started his term on December 8th, and in between Jack Marshall held the office. Hope that helps.
