Canadian newspaper Justin Trudeau resigning as chairman of his party

Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau is expected to announce as early as Monday that he will resign as chairman of the Liberal Party, reported the Canadian The Globe and Mail magazine.

Sources who told the newspaper about the matter estimate that Trudeau will announce his resignation in any case before the party conference organized on Wednesday.

It is unclear whether Trudeau intends to step down as prime minister immediately or whether he will continue in the wash until the Liberal Party has found itself a new leader.

Trudeau became leader of the Liberal Party in 2013. He became prime minister in 2015.

In recent years, the popularity of Trudeau and his party has been at rock bottom.

The news is updated.
