Jacinda Ardern: Her final words as PM ‘be strong’


As Jacinda Ardern delivered her final speech as New Zealand's Prime Minister, the country held its breath, waiting to hear her last words before she officially stepped down. The crowd gathered in the Parliament's debating chamber was hushed as Ardern took the podium, her voice steady and composed.

Ardern began by thanking her colleagues and the people of New Zealand for their support over the past four years. She spoke of the challenges they faced together, from natural disasters to global pandemics, and how they worked through them as a team. She acknowledged the sacrifices made by healthcare workers, teachers, and essential service providers during these difficult times.

As she neared the end of her speech, Ardern's voice grew more emotional. She spoke of her love for New Zealand and her pride in leading the country during some of its most trying times. She thanked her family for their unwavering support and promised to continue serving her community in a new capacity.

And then, in a moment that brought tears to many eyes, Ardern delivered her last words as Prime Minister: "Kia kaha," she said, using a Maori phrase that translates to "be strong." It was a fitting end to a speech that had been filled with gratitude, resilience, and hope.

The crowd erupted into applause as Ardern left the podium, her legacy as one of New Zealand's most beloved and respected leaders secure. Her final message of strength and resilience will undoubtedly continue to inspire people long after she has left office.

As Ardern steps down from her role as Prime Minister, New Zealand is left with a sense of gratitude and admiration for all that she has accomplished during her time in office. Her leadership has been marked by compassion, empathy, and a deep commitment to serving her community. Her legacy will undoubtedly continue to shape New Zealand's future for years to come.
