In a move that has surprised many, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation on Monday evening, bringing an end to his nearly decade-long tenure as the leader of Canada.
Trudeau, who has served as Prime Minister since 2015, revealed that he will step down once the ruling Liberal Party selects a new leader.
His decision marks a significant moment in Canadian politics, as Trudeau has been a prominent figure both domestically and internationally during his time in office.
“I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister,” Trudeau, who has been in power since 2015, told reporters in Ottawa following a protracted political crisis that saw top Liberal allies urge him to quit.
The Liberal Party is now set to begin the process of choosing a new leader to guide the party and the country forward.
