（都柏林20日综合电）爱尔兰总理瓦拉德卡周三说，他将辞去总理和统一党领导人的职务。
瓦拉德卡对聚集在都柏林政府大楼外的记者说：“我将辞去统一党主席和领导人的职务，即日生效，一旦我的继任者能够就任总理，我将立即辞去总理职务。”
瓦拉德卡作为三党联盟主席的卸任并不会自动引发大选。他已要求在4月6日选出该党的新领导人，以便在复活节假期后选出新总理。
瓦拉德卡在宣布这一消息时显得情绪激动，他说现在是他辞职的最佳时机，他做出这个决定没有“真正的原因”。
“我没有其他安排，我没有任何想法。我没有明确的个人或政治计划。”
根据统一党、共和党和规模较小的绿党之间达成的轮换安排，瓦拉德卡于2022年重返总理职位。
爱尔兰的下一次选举必须在2025年3月之前举行。
接替瓦拉德卡担任统一党领袖的竞争者包括高等教育部长哈里斯（冠病大流行期间的卫生部长）、曾担任副总理的企业部长科文尼、公共支出部长多诺霍，以及司法部长麦肯蒂。
