Green Party elects former MP Mike Morrice leader as sole leadership candidate

The Green Party of Canada has elected former MP Mike Morrice as leader after he ran unopposed in the party’s leadership race.

The Story

The Green Party of Canada has elected former MP Mike Morrice as its new leader, with Morrice standing as the sole candidate in the party’s leadership race.

Morrice previously served as the MP for Kitchener Centre from 2021 to 2025, when he lost his seat to Conservative MP Kelly DeRidder in the most recent federal election.

Following his election, Morrice said there is renewed energy in the party to make life more affordable for Canadians while taking on what he called "the oil and gas giants."

Outgoing leader Elizabeth May said Morrice has "worked very hard for his community" and described his election as "a dream come true," adding she has full confidence he will inherit a strong team and that the party is similarly confident in him.

May also remains the sole Green MP in the House of Commons.
