COPENHAGEN: Icelandic Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir announced her resignation on Friday and said that she will run for president, a ceremonial post that is mostly above the daily political fray.
It was not immediately clear who would succeed her as prime minister, a job she has held since late 2017.
“I had decided some time ago not to seek re-election in the next parliamentary elections. At the same I still have a burning desire to continue to offer my services to Icelandic society,” Jakobsdottir said in a video message.
