The New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, has announced her resignation after almost six years of what she described as ‘big challenges’.
Her last day in office will be on February 7 and it is understood that a general election has been called for October 14 to appoint her official replacement.
The 42-year-old stepped into the leading role in 2017, and while announcing her resignation, choked back tears and said ‘I am human’.
