Alot of the farmers voted for her because the theory was, that farmers wanted to keep the Greens out so labour could go alone.
The farmers normally vote the party national (conservative), but they were not in a position to win going by the polls.
Thats why jacinda got so many votes. She and the media convinced the farmers etc via their narrative that voting jacinda, would keep the communist greens out.
Result, jacinda won easily, and then went with the greens anyways. Plus helped by some vote rigging. Votes could still be collected up to a week later
That was fake news from Labour to justify the high amount of votes they got. I deal with farmers in my line of work. They all hate her. I wouldn't be surprised if there was election interference at the last elections
