Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his plans to step down from his role as prime minister, stating that he will leave office after a new leader for the ruling party is selected, CNN reports.
He stated that Canada’s parliament will remain suspended until 24th of March as a new leader is selected.
In announcing his intention to resign, he expressed having "one regret"—the nation’s election process.
“If I have one regret, particularly as we approach this election — well, probably many regrets that I will think of,” Trudeau said.
“But I do wish we’d been able to change the way we elect our governments in this country so that people could simply choose a second choice, or a third choice on the same ballot.”
“Every morning I’ve woken up as prime minister, I have been inspired by the resilience, generosity and the determination of Canadians,” he added. “I have fought for this country, for you.”
