Abdication is a situation in which one ruler leaves power to another or renounces authority. The term usually refers to a change in leadership, such as a monarch abdicating or a president resigning from office.
Abdications are the formal resignations or relinquishments of one's power, position, or authority. These happen when a monarch is no longer able to fulfill their duties and responsibilities due to personal health issues, political instability, or other circumstances. Abdication is often accompanied by a statement from the monarch announcing their decision and the reasons for it.
