Why are Canadian MPs seeking Justin Trudeau’s resignation?
At least 24 of the 153 Liberal MPs have been holding meetings to secretly oust Justin Trudeau. The MPs have been seeking Trudeau’s resignation in a bid to save their party from a potential poll debacle.
The public opinion surveys have suggested that under Trudeau’s leadership, the Liberals are likely to face a political fiasco after Trudeau’s Party was defeated in two safest constituencies in special polls held in June and September.
The MPs are also not happy with the preparations for the upcoming elections, which must be held before October 2025. Another reason behind growing discontent among Liberal Party MPs is the declining trends in Justin Trudeau’s popularity, which has sunk to an all-time low with rival Conservatives leading over Liberals by 19 points. Fearing a massive defeat in the upcoming elections, some 24 MPs presented a document seeking Trudeau’s resignation.
