Liberal Leader Mark Carney has confirmed a federal election will be called on April 28, after requesting Parliament be dissolved at Rideau Hall.
Carney announced Saturday he will be seeking a seat as a Liberal MP in the House of Commons to represent the Ottawa riding of Nepean.
The Nepean riding has been held by Liberal MP Chandra Arya for the last decade, but the party recently revoked his nomination.
Carney will be running in a riding adjacent to his main rival, Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre, who is seeking re-election in the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton.
