Liberals to Announce New Leader on March 9

 


The Liberal Party of Canada is set to announce its new leader on March 9, 2025. This announcement follows Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision to step down as the party leader and prime minister. The party's national board of directors has established the rules for the leadership contest, including a $350,000 entry fee for candidates.

Several prominent figures have expressed interest in running for the leadership position, including Ontario MP Chandra Arya and former Montreal MP Frank Baylis. Other potential candidates include former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, former B.C. premier Christy Clark, and several current cabinet ministers.

The new leader will guide the Liberal Party into the next federal election and will become the prime minister as long as the party remains in power. The leadership race is expected to be a significant event in Canadian politics, with many eyes on the potential candidates and their platforms.
