Canada ruling party elects Mark Carney as new leader, next PM

The former central bank governor Mark Carney has been chosen as the new leader of the Liberal Party in Canada, replacing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, party president Sachit Mehra announced on Sunday.

Canada's Liberal Party overwhelmingly elected Mark Carney as its new leader and the country's next prime minister on Sunday, tasking the former central banker with helming Ottawa's response to threats from US President Donald Trump.

Carney, 59, won 85.9 percent of the ballots cast in the Liberal Party leadership vote, according to the final tally.
