Mostly, they don't. Retire, I mean. But strangely, in the last year or two, we had two who did.
Jacinda Ardern, who was New Zealand's zealous Prime Minster, and saw the country though a mass shooting, and then, COVID, with all its anxieties. She withstood all that, but said goodbye a few months later, saying she needed to move on, unable to take it any more.
More recently, Sanna Marin of Finland stepped out of politics completely, and said she wants to do social work.
I have not really heard of an Indian politician voluntarily stepping down, or a minister resigning. Mostly, this happens when they lose an election. Perhaps it happened in the good old says, but mostly, the clamour is for being made a minister, at any cost.
