Bramalea MP Jagmeet Singh is the new leader of the New Democratic Party. Singh breezed to a first-ballot win with 35,266 votes, making him the first Sikh to lead a party in the House of Commons. He is a lawyer. Singh easily outstripped his three rivals: northern Ontario MP Charlie Angus, Manitoba MP Niki Ashton and Quebec MP Guy Caron. Angus came in second with 12,705 votes, followed by Niki Ashton with 11,374 and Guy Caron with 6,164.
Congratulations on a historic win. NOW your job is to reform the party into a great alternative to the Liberals!
