MP Gary Vidal announces he won’t seek re-election
Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River MP Gary Vidal announced he won’t be seeking re-election in the next federal election.
Vidal explained why he won’t be running in the Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River riding.
“I know some may be asking the reasons for this decision, so I offer the following: The boundaries of the Desnethé–Missinippi–Churchill River riding that I have served since October 21, 2019 are changing very drastically for the next election,” he said in a statement today. “Though it is not a legal requirement that a Member of Parliament live in the riding they serve, for me it is personal requirement and one that I believe in very strongly.”
He added he will not live in the new riding of Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River.
