Federal NDP Opens Leadership Contest to Replace Jagmeet Singh



The federal New Democratic Party has officially launched its leadership race, marking the start of a new chapter following Jagmeet Singh’s resignation after April’s election defeat. The contest will culminate at the party’s national convention in Winnipeg on March 29, 2026, where members will elect a new leader using a ranked ballot system.

Prospective candidates must raise $100,000, gather 500 member signatures — with strict regional and diversity requirements — and meet deadlines set for early 2026. The party says there has been “strong interest” since application packages were released in August, reflecting enthusiasm for a dynamic and inclusive race.

While no candidates have been officially confirmed, names like Edmonton MP Heather McPherson and activist Avi Lewis are expected to enter the contest. Leadership debates are planned for late 2025 and early 2026, offering members a chance to hear contenders’ visions for the party’s future.
