Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly planning to resign as leader of the Liberal Party, with an official announcement expected as early as Monday, January 6, 2025. The Globe and Mail, citing three unnamed sources, suggests that the announcement may occur before a critical national caucus meeting scheduled for Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
While the exact timing and details of Trudeau’s resignation remain unclear, sources indicate uncertainty about whether he will step down immediately or continue as Prime Minister until a successor is chosen.
Trudeau assumed leadership of the Liberal Party in 2013 when it was struggling and had fallen to third place in the House of Commons. Under his leadership, the party rebounded significantly, securing a majority government in 2015.
This potential resignation comes amid challenges for Trudeau’s government, including internal political pressures and declining popularity. His departure would mark a significant shift in Canadian politics, potentially reshaping the Liberal Party’s future.
Further updates are expected as more details emerge in the coming days.
