Summary
Following a devastating election that reduced the NDP to seven seats and just over six percent of the vote, party members are bracing for difficult discussions on their future direction and leadership. Leader Jagmeet Singh announced his resignation in light of the poor results, which have left the party facing a loss of parliamentary status and resources. Key reasons for the electoral setback include voter betrayal over support for the Liberal government and fear from U.S. extremism, leading many to vote strategically rather than for the NDP.
