Khalistan Sympathiser Jagmeet Singh Concedes Defeat In Canada Elections

Jagmeet Singh, a Khalistan sympathizer and leader of the New Democrats Party in Canada, announced his resignation after losing his Burnaby Central riding in the recent elections.

Jagmeet Singh, a Khalistan sympathiser who was running in the Canada elections, has suffered a big blow and announced to step down as in charge of New Democrats Party after eight years. He said he would step down as the NDP leader after the party selects a replacement after he lost his Burnaby Central riding. 

He thanked his wife and two daughters, his in-laws and several party loyalists for their support. “I couldn’t have done it without you,” Singh said. He also said he congratulated Carney for his win. 

Jagmeet Loses Burnaby Central Seat

Singh was eyeing a third win but lost the Burnaby Central seat in British Columbia to a Liberal candidate, Wade Chang. While Singh got 27 per cent of the votes, Chang secured more than 40 per cent of the votes. His party, NDP also saw a major dip and was set to lost its national status, which requires parties to secure at least 12 seats. 

"I know this night is disappointing for New Democrats. But we are only defeated when we believe those that tell us we can never dream of a better Canada," Singh, who became the party leader in 2017, wrote in a series of posts on X.

"But I am not disappointed in our movement. I am hopeful for our party," he added.

"I KNOW that we will always choose hope over fear. New Democrats built this country. We have built the best of Canada. And we aren't going anywhere," he said.

Liberals Win Elections

The Monday snap elections, called by Prime Minister Mark Carney after becoming the country's premier in March, was won by his Liberal party paving way for Carney to retain his PM seat. The Liberals, who were heading for a crushing defeat earlier saw their fate turned around after US President Donald Trump slapped reciprocal tariffs on Canada and threatened to annex the country as America's 51st state.
