Danish Deputy Prime Minister, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen has disclosed he was retiring from politics, just months after he returned from a six-month leave.
Ellemann-Jensen disclosed his resignation on Monday.
His resignation will also mean he steps down as leader of the liberal Venstre party, which is part of Denmark’s ruling coalition party.
He said that his personality overshadowed the party’s results in government, and had become a hindrance for the party’s ability to move forward.
Party colleague and defence minister Troels Lund Poulsen will take over his responsibilities in government.
