“I am human. We give as much as we can for as long as we can and then it’s time. And for me, it’s time. I just don’t have enough in the tank for another four years. I am not leaving because I believe we cannot win the next election, but because I believe we can and will,” Ardern stated.
Further, she said that this job demands a lot and it’s time she put a stop to it. “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”, ended the PM.
Well, it sure seems enough for Jacinda Ardern but she definitely managed to grab the world’s attention in her 5-year-long tenure.
