New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key has announced that he will resign as prime minister of New Zealand, after eight years in the job. Mr Key called it "the hardest decision I've ever made," adding "I don't know what I'll do next."
Bill English is expected to take over until the National Party holds a caucus to choose a new PM.
Mr Key is stepping down at the request of his wife Bronagh, the New Zealand Herald reports.
He won a third term for the National Party at elections of September 2014.
A shock this one.
He was alright. Restored Knighthoods and Damehoods to New Zealand, is a monarchist and has helped us out with Brexit by sending over negotiators. The only downer on his premiership was his (failed) attempt to change the kiwi Flag.
Thoughts?
