John Key is resigning as Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Key made the announcement at his weekly press conference this afternoon.
Key, his voice shaking with emotion, said he told his Cabinet of his decision this morning
"This is the hardest decision I've ever made and I don't know what I'll do next."
Bill English is expected to take over as Prime Minister and Steven Joyce is expected to take on the finance role.
The Herald understands that Key's wife Bronagh asked him to resign.
The National Party caucus will hold a meeting on December 12 to decide the new party leader and Prime Minister.
