Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation as Canada’s Prime Minister after nearly a decade of leadership. In a live press conference held in Ottawa, Trudeau revealed that he would continue in his role until the Liberal Party elects a new leader.
The resignation comes amid increasing pressure from within his own party and political circles for him to step down. The calls for his departure intensified in December after a shock resignation by his finance minister, which sent waves of uncertainty throughout Ottawa.
Trudeau explained that his decision to step down followed extensive discussions with his family, who have been a source of immense support throughout his political career. According to reports, Trudeau shared the news with his children during a dinner the evening before his announcement.
