New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, has announced that she will resign in February, saying she no longer has 'enough in the tank' to remain as leader.
4. She was praised for the manner she handled the Christchurch mosque attack in March 2019, where 51 people were killed. She marshalled swift gun law reforms and a push to force social media giants to address online hate speech.
5. Ardern again found herself comforting a shocked nation when a volcanic eruption at White Island, also known as Whakaari, killed 21 people and left dozens more with horrific burns in December 2019. 6. Ardern’s government imposed a lockdown and border closures soon after the first cases emerged in 2020. While the move was supported, she was also criticised by citizens unable to return home.
7. Ardern postponed her wedding as Omicron hit the country a year ago and, in announcing her resignation, told her longtime partner, Clarke Gayford, it was time they got married.All rights reserved.
