Justin Trudeau resigned as Canadian Prime Minister and the leader of the Liberal Party, effective immediately, signalling the end of a significant chapter in Canadian politics. While the timeline for his departure from office remains uncertain, he is expected to stay on as Prime Minister until a successor is chosen, potentially a swift transition.
“I will resign as party leader and prime minister once a new leader is chosen through a fair, nationwide competitive process,” Trudeau announced at a press conference. “This country deserves a genuine choice in the next election, and it’s clear to me that if I’m battling internal divisions, I cannot be the best candidate for that election.”
The decision to step down comes amidst rising public discontent against the Liberal Party. Polls indicate the Liberals are poised for a significant defeat to the opposition Conservatives in the next election, which must take place by late October, regardless of leadership changes.
