Jagmeet Singh Steps Down After Losing Seat in 2025 Federal Election
In a major development following the 2025 Canadian federal election, Jagmeet Singh has announced his resignation as the leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP). Singh’s decision came after the NDP suffered heavy losses across the country and he personally lost his seat in Parliament.
The election results were a major setback for the NDP, who struggled to gain momentum against the dominant Liberal Party, now led by Mark Carney. The Liberals managed to secure their fourth consecutive term in power, forming a projected minority government. Their success was boosted by the decline of both the NDP and the Bloc Québécois.
A Big Change for the New Democratic Party
Singh’s resignation marks a big change in Canadian politics. Under his leadership, the NDP had aimed to position itself as a strong alternative, but the disappointing election results showed a significant disconnect with voters. Now, the NDP will need to find new leadership and rebuild its image ahead of future elections.
What’s Next?
With Jagmeet Singh stepping down, the focus turns to who will lead the NDP through this rebuilding phase. Meanwhile, the Liberals, despite not winning a full majority, will seek alliances to maintain a stable government under Mark Carney’s leadership.
