PHOTOS: Who will be the next NDP leader?

The New Democratic Party (NDP) is looking for a new federal leader and four candidates have stepped up to the plate.

Ontario MPP Jagmeet Singh, Quebec MP Guy Caron, Ontario MP Charlie Angus and Manitoba MP Niki Ashton have all thrown their hats into the ring in a bid to replace outgoing leader Thomas Mulcair.

Mulcair lost majority support from party members in 2016 after a disappointing result in the 2015 federal election. With 52 per cent of NDP members voting against him, the Quebec MP will soon take a back seat to one of the four contenders who will be eventually chosen to drive the train for the NDP.

There will be three rounds of voting to determine the new party leader, with the first commencing on Sept. 18. Final ballot results will be revealed on Oct. 15.
