Toronto, April 30 -- Indo-Canadian leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP) Jag meet Singh announced his intent to resign from the post in a night that saw his losing his own riding of Burnaby Central in British Columbia. It was terrible outcome for Singh personally as he ended up third in the constituency, with less than 19% of the vote share, and trailing both the Liberal Party's Wade Chang and the Conservative James Yan, both of whom were thousands of ballots ahead of him. He also led his party to a devastating defeat, with the NDP on track to garner just seven seats, losing 18 from the result in the 2021 Federal election. It wasn't just a bruising night for the NDP, it also meant that it was likely to lose official party status in the House of Commons that will be formed soon. It dropped 12% in support, with just six per cent backing in this Federal election. Singh said he would resign as soon as the interim party leader was chosen. That will bring to an end his tenure which began in October 2017, when he won the leadership race on the first ballot. The NDP's disastrous night could, in part, be attributed to Singh's decision to enter into a supply and confidence agreement with the minority government of then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in March 2022....
