Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney will replace Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after winning a landslide victory to become leader of the Liberal Party on Sunday.
The 59-year-old was chosen by the Liberal Party after Trudeau announced his resignation in January, but remains prime minister until a successor is chosen and sworn in.
Election laws mandate a general election before autumn, but one is expected this spring.
