Anita Anand, a senior member of Canada's Liberal Party, is emerging as a leading candidate to replace Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister following his resignation. If selected, she would make history as the first woman of colour and the first Canadian of Indian descent to hold the office. Currently serving as the Minister of Transport and Internal Trade, Anand has held various key positions, including Minister of Public Services, Minister of National Defence, and President of the Treasury Board. She has been a member of Parliament since 2019, representing Oakville. Anand's career has included significant contributions, such as securing vital medical supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic and implementing military reforms as Defence Minister. A strong advocate for gender equality, inclusiveness, and LGBTQIA+ rights, Anand is recognized for her leadership and commitment to a clean and green transport sector. If chosen, she would break new ground in Canada's political history.
