The federal NDP has officially launched the race to select its next leader.
“This leadership race is an exciting opportunity for our members and for people across the country who share progressive values,” party president Mary Shortall said in a Sept. 2 release. “I know our members are eager to take part in a contest that is democratic, inclusive, and inspiring for the entire movement.”
