As a constitutional monarchy, New Zealand's leader is not the "president" but the Prime Minister.

The first New Zealand leader was Henry Sewell, although the title was not "Prime Minister" but "Premier".

The term "Prime Minister" was assigned during Richard Seddon's tenure, and the first man to be sworn in under the title of Prime Minister was William Hall-Jones.
