Jacinda Ardern has choked back tears as she announced her resignation as New Zealand Prime Minister in an emotional press conference.
Her resignation comes into effect on Sunday if the Labour Party can elect her replacement, or on February 7 if the process was drawn out.
Ms Ardern said she hoped to find the energy and heart during the Christmas break to stay in the job, 'but I have not been able to do that'.
'I am human. Politicians are human. We give all we can for as long as we can - and then it's time. And for me, it's time,' she said.
'I know what this job takes. And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice.
'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.'
Ms Ardern resigns at just 42 after becoming leader just over five years ago on October 26, 2017, and was New Zealand's youngest-ever PM.
She insisted her party trailing in the polls the the rival National Party ahead of the upcoming election had nothing to do with her decision to step down.
'I am not leaving because I believe we can't win the election but because I believe we can and will,' she said.
'But we need a fresh set of shoulders for the challenges of both this year and the next three.'
During her resignation speech, Ms Ardern announced the next New Zealand election would be held on October 14.

Odd timing. Biden....Chinuh...$$$$$$$?
Reading the Daily Shepherd (the main newspaper in NZ), you’ll see that the Sheep loved her COVID response. In fact, that was seen as a major accomplishment by her party.
There was, then, no explanation why she has record low popularity ratings heading into this next election. /satire.
Her legacy will be an entire population wondering if the shot she made them take is going to kill them. I don’t see many statues about to spring up.
One Marxist down.
Filthy Maoist whore.She’s probably arranges for a $500,000 a year for a Chinese armaments maker.
