Ottawa, January 10, 2025: The Liberal Party of Canada has announced that its leadership election will take place on March 9, 2025, to select a successor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. This comes after Trudeau’s resignation on January 6, 2025, due to declining popularity and internal challenges within the party. He will continue to serve as the prime minister until a new leader is elected.
Among the potential candidates for the leadership position are former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and former central banker Mark Carney. The outcome of the leadership vote will determine the next prime minister, with the newly elected leader expected to assume office and appoint the 30th Canadian ministry.
