[Nancy Pelosi, who has led Democrats
in the US House of Representatives
for almost two decades,
has announced she is standing down
from the role.
The 82-year-old is the most powerful
Democrat in Congress and the first woman
to serve as speaker of the House.
She will continue to represent her California
district in the lower chamber of Congress.
It comes as Republicans are projected
to take back control of the House following
the midterm elections.]
