Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly preparing to step down as the leader of the Liberal Party, according to sources close to the government. The move follows mounting internal pressure and the recent resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, further destabilizing the party.
The Liberal Party, already grappling with declining approval ratings, faces additional challenges after the New Democratic Party (NDP) announced its withdrawal of support for the minority government. This political shift has increased speculation about an imminent leadership contest within the party.
Trudeau, who has been at the helm of the Liberal Party since 2013 and has served as Prime Minister since 2015, has yet to issue an official statement. Insiders suggest that his decision could come as early as this week, potentially setting the stage for a period of political uncertainty in Canada.
Analysts are closely watching potential successors, as the party gears up for a leadership race that could define its future direction.
