He took over the leadership of the Labour Party following the death of Norm Kirk. Rowling's tenure was marked by economic difficulties and public dissatisfaction, which contributed to the Labour Party's loss in the 1975 election, making him one of the few first-term Prime Ministers to be ousted from office in New Zealand's history.
