Jagmeet Singh gets emotional as he resigns from NDP leadership after losing Canada election

Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party (NDP), announced his resignation as party leader following the election.

In a deeply emotional statement, Singh congratulated Mark Carney and expressed gratitude for the support of his family and the NDP, acknowledging the challenges faced during his tenure. He emphasised the importance of unity and resilience within the party as it moves forward, reports The Guardian.

The election results were a significant setback for the NDP. Singh lost his seat, and the party's overall performance was disappointing. They only made it to 12 seats while in the last election they had 24.

The Liberals, led by Mark Carney, secured a fourth consecutive term, while the Conservatives made notable gains.

Singh's resignation marks the end of an era for the NDP.

Singh's resignation comes amid a broader political shift in Canada, with the Liberals' unexpected resurgence and the NDP's decline. The party now faces the task of rebuilding and redefining its role in Canadian politics.

The development is being seen as a blow to the supporters of Khalistan in Canada.
