Breaking: Jacinda Ardern has announced she will resign as prime minister of New Zealand
Jacinda Ardern has stunned New Zealanders by announcing she will step down as the nation’s prime minister within weeks and will not contest the upcoming election.
She said she would resign as prime minister by February 7 to give her successor time to settle in the party leader role before the election. “Having reflected over summer I know I no longer have that bit extra in the tank to do the job justice. It’s that simple.” She led her party to a landslide victory in the 2020 election, capitalising at her success in making New Zealand one of the countries with the world’s lowest COVID-19 death rates.
