Premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty has announced he is resigning.
McGuinty, who has led the Liberals since 1996 and been premier since
2003, stunned his caucus Monday night announcing it’s time for “renewal”
at the helm of the party.
“I’ve concluded that this is the right time for Ontario’s next
Liberal Premier and our next set of ideas to guide our province
forward,” McGuinty told his caucus. “Earlier today, I asked Yasir Naqvi,
our party president, to convene a leadership convention at the earliest
possible time.
“I will remain as Premier until that leadership convention. And it
will be my honour to continue to serve as the MPP for Ottawa South until
the next general election.”
