She entered the race on the eve of deadline for candidates to declare themselves
TORONTO: Former Indo-Canadian MP Ruby Dhalla has announced that she will participate in the leadership race of the ruling Liberal Party to succeed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“I hope that we’re going to make history, and create history as the first woman of Indian origin to be elected as Prime Minister of Canada,” she told the outlet CTV News in an interview on Wednesday.
She entered the race on the eve of the deadline for candidates to declare themselves, January 23, though her campaign will still have to submit the fee of 350,000 Canadian dollars ($243,195) to qualify.
