The Yukon Liberal Party has announced the immediate resignation of Mike Pemberton as party leader. Interim leadership has been taken over by Vuntut Gwitchin MLA Debra-Leigh Reti, who will continue to represent Old Crow. 

Pemberton's departure follows the party's recent territorial election loss, where they failed to form government.

In a media release, Jason Cunning, President of the Yukon Liberal Party, said, "Change moments like this are an opportunity to come together, stay focused on our values, and keep moving forward."

The party's Annual General Meeting is set for January 22, focusing on constitutional amendments, finances, and a new executive. Reti aims to stabilize the party, emphasizing partnership with First Nations and addressing key issues like healthcare and housing.
