WELLINGTON, New Zealand – New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Thursday announced she will resign next month, saying she no longer has “enough in the tank” to remain as leader.
“I am human. We give as much as we can for as long as we can and then it’s time. And for me, it’s time,” she said at a meeting of members of her Labour Party.Ardern became prime minister in a coalition government in 2017 and then led her centre-left Labour Party to a comprehensive victory in an election three years later.
But her party and personal popularity, often referred to as “Jacindamania”, have dropped in recent domestic polls amid escalating inflation and fears of a rising crime rate. “I am not leaving because I believe we cannot win the next election, but because I believe we can and will,” she said.
