Mulcair was elected as an NDP MP in a byelection in 2007 before becoming leader in 2012 following the sudden death of Jack Layton, who’d led the party to official Opposition status for the first time in its history.

Six months after the NDP finished a distant third in the 2015 federal election, Mulcair was rejected by his own party members in a leadership review.

He stayed on until Jagmeet Singh became leader last fall.
