She's back: Elizabeth May elected Green leader again
After a disappointing federal election result, internal conflicts spilling into the open and a downward trend in fundraising, the federal Green Party named a familiar face as its leader Saturday night, although she will not be doing it alone.
“It means a different model for leadership that emphasizes that Greens do things differently,” May said in her victory speech on Saturday night, after insisting the other candidates, not just Pedneault, all join her on the stage. In the 2021 election, held when the tumultuous tenure of former leader Annamie Paul had already reached new depths, support plummeted to 2.3 per cent of the popular vote. May kept her seat and Mike Morrice was elected in Ontario. Paul placed fourth in bid for Toronto Centre.
“It has been a bit of a rough patch, but we’re out of it now,” May said in remarks before the results were announced. “And we can confidently say that when tonight is over we are united regardless of the outcome. We are working together.” Over the course of the six-month race, leadership hopefuls had been quick to acknowledge the party’s struggles and offered differing visions on how to heal wounds, excite supporters and attract new support at the polls.
