US EditionNDP will choose next leader in March after dismal election result
WINNIPEG, JUL 10 – The New Democratic Party will hold a leadership race starting in September after losing 17 incumbents, including former leader Jagmeet Singh, in its worst election result, officials said.
- The NDP will begin its leadership race in September 2025 and choose a new leader by March 29, 2026, following their worst election result in decades.
- Jagmeet Singh resigned as leader after the April 28, 2025 election left the party with only seven seats and significant debt, prompting calls for a careful renewal process.
- The national council approved contentious leadership rules including a $100,000 entry fee intended to demonstrate candidates’ organizational and fundraising capacity, with debates streamed online in both official languages.
- Some members criticized the fee as too high and stressed the leadership race should not be rushed, emphasizing the importance of a thorough post-mortem before renewal, while Reclaim Canada's NDP welcomed the six-month race duration.
- Interim leader Don Davies, ratified by caucus in June 2025, faces a challenging rebuilding task amid financial constraints, low caucus numbers, and the need to reconnect with grassroots members.
