Palin to resign as Alaska governor
Updated on 03 July 2009
Alaska governor Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice presidential nominee, has announced she is resigning from office at the end of the month.
Mrs Palin, 45, and her staff kept her future plans shrouded in mystery, and it was unclear if the controversial "hockey mom" would quietly return to private life or begin laying the foundation for a presidential bid in 2012.
Mrs Palin's spokesman, David Murrow, said the governor didn't say anything to him about this being her "political finale" and added that he interpreted Mrs Palin's comment about working outside government as reflecting her current job only.
