Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau is reportedly expected to resign from his position as early as Monday, according to Canadian media.
Fox News reports that the news was first reported by the Globe and Mail on Sunday night, citing three sources.
According to the report, it is unclear when exactly Trudeau will step down, but a resignation is expected to come before a national caucus meeting on Wednesday.
The development comes as Trudeau’s popularity continues to dwindle in Canada, with a national election planned for October 20.
The country continues to suffer from a housing crisis, a declining per-capita GDP and high inflation, among other issues.
Trudeau has a disapproval rate of around 68% as of December 24, with a meager 28% of Canadians supporting him, according to Canadian pollster Angus Reid.
Trudeau became prime minister in 2015 but has since braved a difficult few months in politics, facing a no confidence vote in parliament that later failed, despite efforts from the Conservative Party to remove him from office.
