Leo Varadkar's Surprise Resignation as Ireland's Prime Minister

Ireland's Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, announced his resignation, citing "personal and political reasons" as his party, Fine Gael, has struggled in the polls. Varadkar will step down as party leader immediately but will continue to serve as prime minister until his party elects a new leader, expected before Easter. His unexpected decision comes after the defeat of two referendums and waning public support for his party, with Ireland scheduled to hold a general election early next year.
