SAN JUAN (Reuters) - The woman in line to be the governor of Puerto Rico after Ricardo Rossellأ³ steps down next week said on Sunday she does not want the job running the U.S. territory.

Rossellأ³ said last week he will step down on Aug. 2 in the face of mass street protests and public outrage over the release of profane chat messages and embezzlement charges against two former administration officials.
