Jacinda Ardern no longer sees an opportunity for herself to remain in office and stand as a candidate in a new election.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Thursday morning that she will step down next month. This was reported by BBC News.
According to the politician, six years as prime minister were difficult and he no longer has the strength to lead the country.
Ardern plans to step down as leader of the Labor Party no later than February 7 and a vote will take place in the coming days to determine her replacement. New Zealand will hold a general election on 14 October.
“I hoped that I would find the necessary strength to continue working, but, unfortunately, I did not. I would be doing New Zealand a disservice if I continued,” he stressed.
The 42-year-old politician admitted that he considers his future during the summer holidays.
It will be remembered that Ardern became the youngest female head of government in the world when she was elected prime minister in 2017 at the age of 37.
His years in office have had some rough patches, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the Christchurch mosque shootings and the White Island volcanic eruption.
