PM Justin Trudeau announces resignation

January 6, 2025

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, citing internal party battles and a desire to reduce political polarization. He will remain as prime minister until a new leader is selected through a nationwide leadership race. Trudeau also prorogued Parliament until March 24 to allow time for the leadership transition and to reset parliamentary operations that have been stalled due to procedural filibusters.

Trudeau’s decision follows internal pressure from his party and declining popularity ahead of the 2025 federal election. He acknowledged regrets, such as abandoning electoral reform, while highlighting his legacy on poverty reduction and Indigenous reconciliation. His resignation was influenced by the recent departure of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.

Opposition leaders criticized Trudeau’s leadership and called for an early election, with the next confidence votes expected in March. Trudeau’s successor will have limited time to establish themselves as the party prepares for potential elections earlier than the scheduled October 2025 date.
