Sources within the Liberal Party indicate that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is likely to resign, possibly as early as Monday.
This decision comes amid growing dissatisfaction with his leadership and ahead of the party’s first caucus of the year.
Trudeau’s resignation would allow the party to avoid the embarrassment of a challenge from within and could help mitigate the damage caused by his declining popularity.
The pressure on Trudeau intensified following the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, who criticized his policies in her departure letter.
As Canada heads into elections in October, potential successors being considered include Freeland, Dominic LeBlanc, and Mark Carney, while Conservatives are backing Pierre Poilievre.
