The N-D-P is aiming to fight fire with fire, electing a charismatic young leader with an eye for style to take on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Jagmeet Singh, a 38-year-old Sikh with a penchant for colourful turbans, will take over from Tom Mulcair after a resounding first-ballot victory yesterday.
He's Canada's first non-white leader of a federal political party.
One of Singh's first tasks will be to name an interim leader in the House of Commons, since Singh himself does not hold a seat.
