  • During an emotional media conference Jacinda Ardern has resigned as New Zealand prime minister.
    She choked back tears today as she said she did not have the energy to seek re-election.
    “I know what this job takes. And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice,” she said.
    Ms Ardern said she would finish up in the job on February 7.
    “I am human. Politicians are human. We give all we can for as long as we can - and then it’s time,” she said. “And for me, it’s time...I would be doing a disservice to continue.”
    Ms Ardern said the Labour party would elect a new leader by the weekend but Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson would not be a candidate.
    The bombshell announcement came in Napier at the party’s year-starting caucus retreat.
