Leo Varadkar has announced his resignation as Ireland\'s prime minister, citing personal and political reasons. Varadkar expressed that he believes a new leader will be better positioned to secure seats for his party, Fine Gael, in the upcoming general election. His decision comes after facing defeat in recent referendums, with significant discontent within his party over the referendum outcomes and concerns about an exodus of party members. Varadkar, age 45, has led Fine Gael since 2017 and served as Taoiseach (prime minister) twice during his tenure.
