The political parties have written to Governor General Michaëlle Jean asking her to install Stéphane Dion as Prime Minister instead of calling an election.
The Liberals, New Democrats and Bloc Québécois are working to form a social democratic coalition that would topple the Conservatives and replace them as government.
Stéphane Dion announced he will step down as Liberal Party leader, but says he will stay on as interim leader until his replacement is chosen at a leadership convention next Spring.
