Varadkar told reporters in Dublin, 'I am resigning the presidency and leadership of Fine Gael and will resign as Taoiseach [prime minister] as soon as my successor is able to take up that office.'
Varadkar in 2017 became the first gay prime minister of the once-staunchly Catholic country and the youngest person to hold the office. He returned to the premiership in 2022.
