Justin Trudeau has announced that he will resign as Canada’s prime minister once his party selects a new leader. This decision effectively marks the end of his nearly ten years in power.
“Canadians deserve a clear choice in the next election,” Trudeau said, explaining that internal conflicts within his party have made it difficult for him to compete against his political opponents.
He stated that he will remain as prime minister until the ruling Liberal party chooses a new leader through a thorough, nationwide process. His resignation has sparked a heated political race to determine the country’s next leader.
Recent polls suggest that the Liberals are significantly trailing behind the official opposition Conservatives in an election that must take place by late October, regardless of who leads the party.
