This clue could be a double definition.

'left' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'in charge' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for over that I've seen before include "Finished; six balls" , "Given too much money" , "Finished like cricket period" , "Accomplished" , "See 19" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
