The Green Party of Canada held a leadership election from November 12 to November 19, 2022. It elected a new leader to replace Annamie Paul, who had resigned following the 2021 Canadian federal election.

Contents

Notably, four of the six candidates approved to run in this leadership race campaigned as part of joint tickets, promising to appoint the losing member of their ticket as a deputy or co-leader. [3] [4] As co-leadership is not currently recognized in the Green Party’s constitution, a move to shared leadership would require approval from the Green Party. Former party leader Elizabeth May won the election, after campaigning as part of a joint ticket with Jonathan Pedneault; as co-leadership was not formally recognized in the party’s constitution, Pedneault became Deputy Leader while the two sought to amend the party constitution. [5] [6] [7] However, the proposed constitutional change was not approved due to internal disagreement and delay. On July 9, 2024, Jonathan Pedneault resigned as deputy leader, citing personal reasons. [8] [9]

Rules

To be eligible, a candidate: must complete a leadership contest application; must have been a member in good standing for at least three months at the end of the application period, unless their employment prohibited them from membership in a political party; must be eligible for election to the House of Commons; have no debt owed to the party; have no open litigation against the party; must be solvent; must not have participated in the writing of the campaign rules; must be "confirmed to be proficient in speaking and understanding speech in both official languages such that they can carry out their duties in both languages", unless an Indigenous applicant; must have "not demonstrated a pattern, or committed a single egregious act, within reasonable recency, of evidenced and documented violations of the GPC members’ code of conduct, such as inciting or committing violence, racism or abuse"; has not engaged in a pattern of public advocacy of "positions contrary to the Global Green Principles". If there are more than five contestants, the first round will end with a preliminary vote by members. The top four contestants will then continue into the second round. [10] On September 28, 2022 it was announced that there would only be a single round of voting. [11]

History

On September 20, 2021, the 2021 Canadian federal election was held. The election was the Green Party's worst showing since 2000 and included Paul's defeat in her own riding of Toronto Centre, where she placed fourth. As the Green Party's constitution stipulate that leaders must face a leadership review within six months of an election, and following speculation on her political future, Paul announced on September 7 that she would be resigning as leader. [12] By October 27, Paul had still not formally resigned, due to on-going exit negotiations, and members began voting in the leadership review, set to conclude on November 25. [13] On November 10, 2021, Paul formally resigned as leader. [14] Her resignation officially took effect on November 14, 2021, when it was accepted by the party's federal council. [15] [16]

Amita Kuttner was appointed interim leader on November 24, 2021. The party's constitution requires a leadership race begin within six months of the appointment of an interim leader, and conclude within two years of their appointment. [17] [18] In December 2021, Kuttner said they believed there should be a "longer period before launching a permanent leadership contest, and then a short leadership race." [19]
