According to Reuters, it is expected that Trudeau will announce his resignation as the leader of the Liberal Party by Monday. While the exact timing remains uncertain, sources suggest that he may make the announcement before the significant national caucus meeting scheduled for Wednesday.
The Prime Minister's Office has not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter, leaving his next steps unclear. It remains to be seen whether Trudeau will resign immediately or continue in office until a successor is chosen.
Reuters also reports that a potential resignation could leave the ruling Liberal Party without a permanent leader, just as public opinion surveys show that the party is likely to face a major defeat to the Conservatives in the upcoming federal election, scheduled for the end of October. Furthermore, Trudeau's departure could prompt a call for an early election to form a new government, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the nation's political future.
