The New Democratic Party (NDP) has withdrawn its support for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority government. The move comes after a deal struck in 2022 between Trudeau and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh was ended. Trudeau must now seek support from other opposition parties to survive confidence votes. An election is required by October 2025. Trudeau has ruled out an immediate election, but his government's stability is uncertain. The NDP's decision increases pressure on Trudeau, who faces declining poll numbers. The prime minister has pledged to continue governing and delivering on social programs despite the setback.
