Ottawa, Canada: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation, sparking discussions about potential successors. Among the contenders is Chandra Arya, an Indian-origin Member of Parliament, who has officially declared his candidacy to become Canada’s next prime minister.
Arya, originally from Karnataka’s Tumakuru district in India, moved to Canada in 2006 and has since established a successful political career. Announcing his bid on Twitter, Arya stated his vision to lead a more effective government, tackle rising costs, and safeguard Canada’s prosperity. He also criticized the nation’s immigration system, advocating for merit-based policies over diversity-focused approaches.

Trudeau, who led the Liberal Party for nine years, cited internal conflicts and diminishing harmony in Parliament as reasons for his resignation. He will remain in office until a new leader is chosen, with elections slated for October. This leadership change comes amid the Liberal Party's declining popularity, as opposition parties prepare to challenge its governance.
