My feeling from her appointment to her resignation, is that they wanted her to lead the party during the turmoil that followed the last election.
It ticks a lot of boxes for them. Hand her this poison chalice where they knew she would have to navigate a lot of difficult challenges. Then at some time prior to the next election (like now) they can replace her with a man, who doesn’t have any of that baggage from the last year.
