Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Chris Luxon's now faced with the knowledge there's several detractors in his caucus. 

The Prime Minister's survived a second vote of confidence in a matter of months, following an urgent caucus meeting which lasted close to three hours. 

He says the Prime Minister has to avoid wreaking havoc on the party and not immediately penalise those who plotted against him. 

"He's got to live with that, that's the nature of politics. Between now and the election, at least - after the election, all bets are off."

There's a fork in the road of the National Party, as speculation looms around the Prime Minister's leadership.

Christopher Luxon's called an urgent in-person caucus meeting tomorrow morning to resolve the issue quickly. 

In a post online, Luxon says it's a major distraction 90 days out from an election - and unfair to the New Zealand people and National's supporters. 

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says a change at the top could increase the public's perception of disunity.

"And if you're a disunified party, then rarely will the public say - we want to vote for you. So it's a big play, whichever way you look at it." 

Parliament's in recess this week - meaning MPs will travel from around the country.
