Justin Trudeau has served as Prime Minister of Canada for over nine years, navigating major crises including the COVID-19 pandemic and trade negotiations.
Once a media sensation, his popularity has waned, particularly after a fallout with former finance minister Chrystia Freeland.
Trudeau led his party to three consecutive election victories and was known for his progressive policies, including gender parity and immigration reform.
Despite achievements, his government faces criticism as issues like soaring food and housing prices contribute to voter dissatisfaction.
Amid growing pressure, Trudeau recently expressed the need for a new leader in the Liberal Party but had planned to run for re-election.
