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.

Apparently, she can’t multitask...
Only a woman could do this. Incredibly stupid. Stupid on her part, and stupid for anyone to have voted for her.
I’m sure they have someone waiting in the wings.
She worked so hard to destroy New Zealand she’s totally exhausted.
Time to retire to a safe retreat and watch the consequences of her actions unfold.
El Presidente ??
Strap a feed bag to her face and send her to pasture.
Make sure she’s extra vaxxed in compliance with her writ.
🔝🔝🔝
Statist bitch ought to get the mussolini treatment.
First time facing voters since the Covid lockdowns, mandates and overreach, and not looking good for her party..
But I’m sure it’s just coincidence
Is this the one who said “Listen to the government for the truth.”
I don’t think there is anything left for her to destroy!
Shocked? I am delighted.
First fascist / commie ever to resign.
You got that right.
Marxist do not cede power without a fight. When was the last time one in power had a change of heart?
Something is amiss.
“...Get outta Dodge before they really start dropping like flies. Atta girl......murderous tyrant....”
^THIS^
She KNOWS what she did and what’s about to take place because of it, and like the rest of these globalist/marxist bassturds, she’s too cowardly chickenshite to face the “unwashed masses” for whom the bell tolls...
At least she has the decency to leave, our socialist scumbags never go away...
She probably got her payout in Davos from the visiting CEO of Pfizer for doing their bidding.
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.
In addition to the Jim Jones Jabs she's taken, she's probably a malnourished, virtue-whining vegetarian.
