That same year, he ran for the leadership of the Liberal Party, ultimately conceding to Stéphane Dion after the fourth and final ballot. He served as the party`s deputy leader under Dion, and held his seat in the 2008 federal election.On November 13, 2008, Ignatieff announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Liberal Party to succeed Dion. On December 10, he was formally declared the interim leader in a caucus meeting after all other candidates withdrew and backed his bid; his succession as leader was ratified at the party`s May 2009 convention. On August 31, 2009 Ignatieff announced to a meeting of the Liberal caucus "Mr. Harper, your time is up", thus signalling the Liberal Party`s withdrawal of support for the Stephen Harper government and (according to seven of the nine largest newspapers in Canada) making a fall election either "inevitable" or "irrevocable".
