Justin Trudeau, who has led the country for nearly a decade, is giving up leadership of the Liberal party. He said he would remain in both roles until his replacement had been chosen through a party election.

After nine years in office, Justin Trudeau resigned amid growing pressure from within his party and beyond, stating that Canada deserves a "real choice" in the next election. Acknowledging the internal battles, he recognised was no longer the best option for Canadians.
