OTTAWA — The NDP’s leadership race to replace Jagmeet Singh will formally begin in September, with a six-month race to follow according to a rules framework adopted by the party’s national council.
A new leader will be chosen no later than March 29, when the party holds its 2026 convention in Winnipeg.
An entry fee of $100,000 has been set for candidates to show their “organizational and fundraising capacity.”
Singh announced his resignation as NDP leader after he lost his seat in the April 28 election, where the NDP was reduced to just seven seats in the House of Commons.
B.C. NDP MP Don Davies is currently serving as interim leader.
Three people with knowledge of the process have verified the information with The Canadian Press.
