The NDP's leadership race opens after a dismal 2025 election, with candidates split on the party's future direction.
The federal New Democratic Party’s leadership race has begun with candidates Heather McPherson, Avi Lewis, and Rob Ashton vying for the top spot following the party’s poor 2025 election performance, winning only seven seats and 6.3% of the vote.
McPherson blames the party’s shift toward ideological purity for its defeat, while Lewis promotes a populist platform focused on working-class issues like health care, education, and elder care, opposing large export-driven infrastructure projects.
Ashton, a union leader with a working-class image, has avoided taking firm stances on key issues, saying he will defer decisions to party members and the caucus, raising questions about his ability to handle campaign criticism.
The race reflects deep internal divisions over the party’s future direction and strategy for rebuilding support.
