Jacinda Ardern resigns as prime minister of New Zealand in shock announcement

New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern has announced her resignation in a shock announcement. At the Labour party’s annual caucus meeting , Ardern said she 'no longer had enough in the tank' to do the job. 'It’s time,' she said. 'I’m leaving, because with such a privileged role comes responsibility. The responsibility to know when you are the right person to lead and also when you are not. I know what this job takes. And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. It’s that simple.' She said her term as prime minister will conclude no later than 7 February.
