From ‘Kingmaker’ to losing own seat: Pro-Khalistan Jagmeet Singh suffers blow in Canada polls

Pro-Khalistan leader Jagmeet Singh stepped down as New Democratic Party (NDP) chief on Tuesday after he failed to retain his seat in the Canadian elections. Singh, who was contesting the Burnaby Central seat in British Columbia, lost to a Liberal candidate. The NDP is also set to lose its national party status, as it is unlikely to win the 12 seats required to retain the status. In a post on X, Jagmeet Singh wrote, “I am disappointed that we could not win more seats. But I am not disappointed in our movement. I am hopeful for our Party.  I KNOW that we will always choose hope over fear.”
