Former prime minister John Key’s resignation has created plenty of questions, including who will take on the role of transport minister under the new regime?
The country’s new leader Bill English is expected to refresh his cabinet on Sunday.
Current transport minister Simon Bridges is in line for promotion after failing to win the deputy prime minister’s job.
Bridges is tipped to take over the economic development portfolio.
Meanwhile, associate transport minister Craig Foss isn’t contesting a ministerial position and has decided not to seek re-election in 2017.

That makes it unclear who will take over the key transport portfolios.
