The ruling Liberal Party of Canada will select a new leader on Sunday after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his intention to step down after more than a decade in position in early January.
Four candidates participate in the run, namely former Bank of Canada head Mark Carney, former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, former lawmaker Frank Baylis, and ex-leader of the Government in the House of Commons, Karina Gould.
More than 50 parliamentarians from the Liberal Party came to the unanimous opinion that Trudeau should leave his post, reports said in January.
Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada Jagmeet Singh then called on Trudeau to resign and announced a vote of no confidence in the prime minister at the next meeting of the House of Commons, the lower house of the Canadian parliament.
