She has given up.


[Jacinda Ardern says she will quit
as New Zealand prime minister next month,
saying she no longer has
"enough in the tank" to lead.

The 42-year-old said almost six
"challenging"
years in the job had taken a toll.

She will step down as Labour Party leader
no later than 7 February.
There will be a vote in the coming days
to determine her replacement.

New Zealand will hold a general election
on 14 October.

Ms Ardern said she had taken time
to consider her future over the summer break.

"I had hoped that I would find
what I needed to carry on over that period but,
unfortunately, I haven't,
and I would be doing a disservice
to New Zealand to continue."]
