New Democrats Select Don Davies as Interim Leader « Canada’s NDP

May 5, 2025 at 4:00 pm  Federal, Politics

Tonight, the New Democratic Party of Canada’s Federal Council, in consultation with the NDP caucus, selected Don Davies to serve as the Leader of Canada’s NDP for this interim period.

Don Davies will lead the federal NDP forward, replacing Jagmeet Singh who announced his resignation on election night. Jagmeet Singh led the party with courage, compassion, and a clear commitment to improving life for working people. Under his leadership, millions of Canadians gained access to child care and dental care, and millions more now receive free diabetes medication and birth control. His legacy has and will continue to change lives and be felt for generations.

The Leader will work closely with our caucus, council, and party members to set a path forward as preparations begin for a leadership race in the months ahead.

“New Democrats remain united in our mission to deliver for people across the country,” said President Mary Shortall. “While the recent election results were not what we hoped for, our commitment to building a better Canada has never been stronger. With a renewed sense of purpose, we will hold the government to account and keep fighting for the issues we heard about on doorsteps across the country – public health care, affordable homes, good jobs, and making the ultra-rich finally pay their fair share.”
