The Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, announced that she will not continue in office from February and ruled out running a new electoral process.
“I no longer have energy for another four years,” said the official.
At a press conference, Arden expects the new authority to be sworn in on February 7. His popularity has declined as well as his party’s. This after having come to power in 2017 and facing events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2019 Christchurch terrorist attack. In 2020 she was re-elected.
At the end of December, he had taken time to analyze his permanence in the position. In his first public appearance since Parliament went into recess in December, he told Labor’s annual meeting that he hoped to find the energy to continue as leader, “but I haven’t been able to.”
He announced that in the next general election on October 14 and will continue as a member of Parliament.
“I’m not leaving because I think we can’t win the next election, but because I think we can (win) and we will,” he said.
Arden’s successor will emerge from a Labor caucus election although Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson will not run.
“I’m leaving because with such a privileged job there is a great responsibility, the responsibility of knowing when you are the right person to lead and when you are not,” he said. (YO)
