Canada’s Conservative leader Andrew Scheer is stepping down after facing criticism for failing to oust Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in October’s election.
He told the House of Commons it was “one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made”.
Mr Scheer said he would stay on in his role until the party chooses a new leader.
He only became leader in May 2017 in a razor thin victory against 12 rivals.
