The Green Party of Canada held a leadership election from November 12 to November 19, 2022. It elected a new leader to replace Annamie Paul, who had resigned following the 2021 Canadian federal election.
Notably, four of the six candidates approved to run in this leadership race campaigned as part of joint tickets, promising to appoint the losing member of their ticket as a deputy or co-leader. As co-leadership was not recognized in the Green Party’s constitution at the time of the leadership election, a move to shared leadership required approval from the Green Party. Former party leader Elizabeth May won the election, after campaigning as part of a joint ticket with Jonathan Pedneault; as co-leadership was not formally recognized in the party’s constitution, Pedneault became Deputy Leader while the two sought to amend the party constitution. However, the proposed constitutional change was not approved due to internal disagreement and delay. On July 9, 2024, Jonathan Pedneault resigned as deputy leader, citing personal reasons. He would return in February 2025, following the ratification of the co-leadership model by party members.
