Leader since 2006, Elizabeth May quits as Green Party head

Federal Green Party Leader Elizabeth May has stepped down as party leader. Speaking to reporters in Ottawa Monday, May said that she is leaving the post she has held since 2006, effective today. The BC MP said she felt comfortable stepping aside from the role now because the party is in a good position after a solid performance in the recent election campaign. May said she will continue to sit as a member of Parliament and will be the party’s parliamentary caucus leader. She said she promised her daughter that the 2019 election would be her last at the party’s helm. CPAC video
