Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation on January 6, 2025, citing internal government conflicts. He will remain in office until the Liberal Party selects a new leader.
His resignation follows dissatisfaction with his leadership and the recent departure of the finance minister. The Canadian Parliament will be suspended until March 24 for the leadership race.
Trudeau, who led the party in three general elections (2015, 2019, 2021), leaves behind strained relations with India and internal party challenges for his successor. Chrystia Freeland and David McGuinty are potential candidates for leadership.
