Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation, ending months of internal revolt within the ruling Liberal Party. He will remain in office until his successor is chosen by March 24. Among the leading contenders are Indian-origin Transport Minister Anita Anand, known for her leadership in public services and defence, and former Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland, who recently resigned. Other potential candidates include Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly and former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney. The new leader will face significant challenges, with polls suggesting the Liberals might struggle in the upcoming general elections later this year.
