In a tearful announcement, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that she is resigning from her position.
“I’d be doing a disservice to New Zealand if I continued,” she said while speaking Thursday local time at the Labour Party caucus retreat in Napier, New Zealand.
She will conclude her term no later than Feb. 7.
Ardern, who made history in 2017 when she became the world’s youngest female head of government at age 37, said she realized in recent months she no longer had the energy for the demanding job.
