The federal NDP has officially launched the race to find its next leader.
In a news release, the party said there’s been strong interest in the contest since application packages were made available on August 20.
The former leader, Jagmeet Singh, resigned after he and the party faced a significant defeat in April’s federal election.
Registered party members will vote for Singh’s permanent successor at a national convention in March. The process will use a ranked ballot, which allows delegates to list candidates in their preferred order.
To run for the leadership, a candidate must secure at least 10% of the required signatures from New Democrats aged 25 or younger. Additionally, candidates must collect a minimum of 50 signatures from each of the five regions: the Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies, and B.C. and the North.
