Cuomo’s departure comes after a state investigation found this month that he had sexually harassed 13 women. The ex-governor denied the allegations but admitted that his behaviour could have made some people feel uncomfortable.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has resigned after the state launched an investigation into sexual harassment allegations brought against him earlier this year.
Cuomo announced his departure himself during televised public remarks.
Lt-Gov Kathy Hochul will replace Cuomo to become New York’s first female governor.
