Just six years into her political career, Anita Anand, a Canadian woman of Indian descent is already among the favorites to replace Justin Trudeau as the Prime Minister of Canada, following the latter’s decision to step down from the post on Monday, January 6. If Anand is chosen as Trudeau’s successor, she would make history as the first woman of color to lead Canada.
Trudeau took the decision amidst mounting pressure from party colleague, capping his near decade journey as the Prime Minister of the North American nation.
