The 2020 Green Party of Canada leadership election took place between September 26 and October 3, 2020,[4] to elect a leader to replace Elizabeth May, who resigned on November 4, 2019,[5][6][7] after leading the party for more than a decade and achieving a record three seats in Parliament in the 2019 federal election. Eight candidates ran to replace her. While these candidates offered different visions for the future of the party and made various policy proposals, they all agreed that climate change is a serious issue, opposed the construction of new pipelines,[8] supported a guaranteed livable income,[9] and supported adopting some form of proportional representation in federal elections.[10]
No polling for the leadership race was released during the contest, and so frontrunner status was largely determined in the media on the basis of candidate fundraising. In that sense, the two frontrunners were Annamie Paul and Dimitri Lascaris.[11] Paul, an activist and lawyer from Toronto, won the election on the eighth round of voting. Her win was described as a win for "the more centrist camp".[12]
