It is official. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resigned amid growing pressure from Liberal Party coleagues.
Trudeau, who has been in power for nine years, announced that parliament would be adjourned until March 24 to facilitate a new government and allow time for a new Liberal leader to be elected before the next election.
“I intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide competitive process”, Trudeau told a press conference.
