Canada may select new Prime Minister by early March as leadership race begins

hindustantimes.com — January 9, 2025 at 07:01 AM UTC

Canada may have a new Prime Minister by early March, as the Liberal Party plans to announce its leadership race schedule soon. The new leader will need time to prepare before Parliament reconvenes at the end of the month. Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc, a potential candidate, has confirmed he will not run, focusing instead on economic issues. His decision follows the resignation of Chrystia Freeland, who may also consider a leadership bid. The party is facing calls to change voting rules for the leadership race amid concerns about foreign interference. Current rules allow anyone over 14 who joins the party to vote, but MPs are advocating for restrictions to citizens and permanent residents only.
