Jacinda Ardern was officially replaced on Wednesday as New Zealand prime minister, after stunning the country by announcing her abrupt departure from the role last week.
This handout photo taken and released on January 24, 2023 by the New Zealand Prime Minister’s Office shows outgoing New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, seen wearing a ceremonial Maori cloak, during her last public engagement visiting the Maori settlement of Ratana in the North Island. – Ardern said January 24 she was grateful for her time in office, insisting that a sustained barrage of online abuse was not the reason for her shock resignation.
She made her last public appearance as prime minister earlier on Wednesday, walking out of the distinctive Beehive parliament building as hundreds of onlookers broke into a spontaneous round of applause. Folk singer Yusuf “Cat” Stevens, who played a concert in memory of the 51 people killed during the 2019 Christchurch mosque massacre, also praised Ardern.
Hipkins, the architect of New Zealand’s pandemic response, is now tasked with reviving the government’s sagging popularity ahead of a general election in October.
