Detailed summary

The Green Party of Canada has elected former MP Mike Morrice to lead the party -- the sole candidate running in the leadership race.

OTTAWA - The Green Party of Canada has elected former MP Mike Morrice to lead the party — the sole candidate running in the leadership race.

Morrice served as the MP for Kitchener Centre from 2021 to 2025, but lost his seat to Conservative MP Kelly DeRidder in the last federal election.

Morrice says there is a renewed energy in the party to make life more affordable for Canadians while taking on what he calls “the oil and gas giants.”

Outgoing leader Elizabeth May says Morrice has worked very hard for his community, and that his election is “a dream come true.”

She says she has full confidence Morrice will inherit a great team, and that the party is similarly confident in him.
