New Zealand’s progressive prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, a former Latter-day Saint, won praise as a peacemaker and policymaker from church President Russell Nelson during a 2019 visit.
The 42-year-old Ardern, who has seen some of her liberal luster fade amid economic stumbles, has decided not to seek reelection after leading her island country for 5½ years.
She said she looks forward to spending more time with her partner, TV personality Clarke Gayford, and their 5-year-old daughter, Neve,“To Neve: Mum is looking forward to being there when you start school this year,” she said in remarks announcing her departure from office next month. “And to Clarke — let’s finally get married.”“It’s an unlikely scenario; a young mother leading a great nation, a peacemaker, a policymaker, consensus giver,” the church president said at the time.
