New Zealand opposition leader Todd Muller unexpectedly resigns two months out from election, leaving the conservative National Party scrambling to find a new leader to face Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern
Muller became opposition leader in May, following a string of opinion polls that showed Ardern’s Labour Party was set to retain power.“The role has taken a heavy toll on me personally, and on my family, and this has become untenable from a health perspective,” he said in a statement.
Muller was embroiled in a scandal as opposition leader when a National member of parliament leaked confidential information about New Zealand’s coronavirus cases to the media. The incident dealt a severe blow to the opposition’s electoral chances.“No matter what side of Parliament you’re sitting, politics is a difficult place,” the prime minister said in a statement.
