DescriptionThe leader of Canada's main opposition Liberal Party, Stephane Dion, has announced he will resign early, as soon as the party finds a new leader.

An interim leader is expected to be chosen on Wednesday, until a party convention in May.

Deputy leader Michael Ignatieff is widely tipped to replace Mr Dion.

His announcement follows the failure of an opposition coalition to topple the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper last week.
