WATCH: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, a global figurehead of progressive politics, shocked the country Thursday (Jan 19) by announcing she would resign from office in a matter of weeks.
The 42-year-old — who steered the country through natural disasters, the Covid pandemic, and its worst-ever terror attack — said she no longer had"enough in the tank".
Since that 2020 peak of"Jacindamania", Ms Ardern's government has struggled — its popularity hampered by soaring inflation, a looming recession and a resurgent conservative opposition. Ms Ardern won international acclaim for her empathetic handling of the 2019 Christchurch mosque massacre, in which 51 Muslim worshippers were killed and another 40 wounded.
"And we've done that while responding to some of the biggest threats to the health and economic wellbeing of our nation arguably since World War II," Ms Ardern said. "It's about time. She's wrecked the economy and food prices have skyrocketed," said Ms Esther Hedges from Cambridge on New Zealand's north island.Ms Christina Sayer, 38, said Ardern was"the best prime minister we have had".The stress of the job has been evident, with Ms Ardern showing a rare lapse of poise last month when she was unwittingly caught calling an opposition politician an"arrogant prick".
"I am leaving because with such a privileged job comes a big responsibility. The responsibility to know when you are the right person to lead — and also when you're not."
