Abstract

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has unexpectedly resigned, stating that he no longer feels he is the best person for the job. Varadkar's decision comes as his party, Fine Gael, is struggling in the polls and is behind the opposition nationalist party Sinn Féin. Varadkar, who became Ireland's youngest and first openly gay leader in 2017, has faced challenges in connecting with Irish voters. His resignation paves the way for a new leader ahead of upcoming elections. [Extracted from the article]
