New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is resigning.

Her final day in office will be on 7 February - and a general election has been called for 14 October.

Ms Ardern, who became New Zealand’s prime minister in 2017, said: “I believe that leading a country is the most privileged job anyone could ever have, but also one of the more challenging.

“You cannot, and should not do it, unless you have a full tank, plus a bit in reserve for those unexpected challenges.

“This summer I had hoped to find a way to prepare not just for another year, but for another term, because that is what this year requires.

“I have not been able to do that.”

Choking back tears, she continued: “And so today I’m announcing that I will not be seeking re-election, and that my term as prime minister will conclude no later than 7 February.”
