Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey Announces Resignation

After nearly five years in office, Furey cites family priorities and plans to return to medicine as reasons for stepping down.

Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador since 2020, has announced his decision to resign from politics.
Furey, an orthopedic surgeon, stated he is not a career politician and cannot commit to serving another full term.
He will remain in office until the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador selects a new leader.
Furey's resignation follows a similar announcement by Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King less than a week ago.
The outgoing premier emphasized his desire to prioritize his family and return to practicing medicine.
