He says he started his leadership campaign nearly five years ago with the admission that he is not a career politician.
Signing off his resignation letter with “God Guard thee NL”, Premier Andrew Furey has announced he is stepping down after 4 ½ years in politics. He says he started his leadership campaign nearly five years ago with the admission that he is not a career politician. Furey says “from the dark days of the pandemic to the brighter future confirmed by signing the MOU that redefined Churchill Falls, it has been a wild and unexpected journey to bring us here today…the finish.” He says the job has been like one five-year-long shift and that often alone with the weight of the hardest calls, you go to bed with it on your mind and it’s your wake-up call every morning. When he started as Premier, none of his children were even in high school and now one is finishing first year university. As a family, he says they have decided that as exciting as it is for another election, they could not commit to another term.
