Ruling party to start process to pick successor
Hindustan Times Mumbai|January 08, 2025
The process to select the successor of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will commence this week, but that person will face the twin challenges of a severely tarnished Liberal Party brand as well as the prospect of facing a confidence vote almost immediately into their tenure.

TORONTO:

Following Trudeau's announcement on Monday morning in Ottawa that he intends to resign as PM once the next Liberal leader is elected, the party's president Sachit Mehra, in a statement, said its National Board will meet "later this week" and "begin the nationwide democratic process of selecting a new leader".

Parliament has been prorogued till March 24 and that will provide the party with two-and-a-half months to complete the process.
