Annamie Paul sends notice of resignation to Greens, quits party

Outgoing Green Party Leader Annamie Paul says she has officially sent in her notice of resignation to the Green Party of Canada on Wednesday.

In a tweet, Paul said she will also end her membership with the party.

“It was an honour to work for the people of Canada and I look forward to serving in new ways,” she said.

On Sept. 27, the embattled leader announced that she started the process of withdrawing from the role, calling her less than a year at the helm of the party “the worst period” in her life.

Paul failed to win her Toronto Centre riding for the third time in September's federal election, and the party ran the fewest number of candidates since 2000.
