WELLINGTON, Jan 19 — New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is quitting after a tumultuous five years that shot her to global stardom as a progressive leader but left her ground down by the challenges at home.

Ardern, who cobbled together a coalition government in 2017, dubbed her second win “the Covid election”. Across four weeks, starting in February last year, hundreds of demonstrators occupied the lawn in front of the distinctive Beehive parliament building in the capital Wellington.
