Mark Carney, who previously led the central banks of both the UK and Canada, is set to take over from Justin Trudeau as the Prime Minister of Canada.
At 59 years old, Carney was declared the victor in the Liberal Party leadership race on Sunday, making him the first person in Canadian history to become prime minister without winning an election.
Carney’s win followed a heartfelt farewell speech by Trudeau, who tearfully expressed the party’s duty to maintain Canada’s standing as “the best country on earth.”
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m … proud of what we’ve done over these past 10 years, but tonight is about our future as a party, as a country,” Trudeau remarked before stepping down.
