1 February, he said, yesterday. Dr. Kim who was elected president of the bank in 2010, was re-elected for a second term of five years, in 2017 and should have remained in office till 2022. He said in a statement, “It has been a great honour to serve as President of this remarkable institution, full of passionate individuals dedicated to the mission of ending extreme poverty in our lifetime.” Dr. Kim did not offer any explanation for quitting the job. The bank was also silent on the reason for Kim’s resignation.

Three things involved here;
Either he;
...Misses his profession and wants to achieve greatness as a doctor as well before retirement catches up with him.
...has health issues he doesn't want to disclose,
...or, has a passion that has refused to remain buried within him. Time to let it out and breathe.
