The Green Party will soon be looking for a new leader.

Elizabeth May has announced she will not be leading the party into the next election.

In April, May won the party’s only seat in the federal election.

She told members in an email that she intends to remain as an MP and leader pending the results of an upcoming leadership review.

"My voice, as the sole Green MP in the House of Commons, is stronger as leader. I intend to grow our parliamentary caucus before stepping down," the 71 year old May said in her email.

May was first elected leader in 2006 and stayed on until 2019.

She then took the reins again in 2022.
