Liberal Leader Mark Carney confirmed he will run for a seat in Nepean, a riding in Ottawa, the night before visiting Gov. Gen. Mary Simon on March 23 seeking dissolution of Parliament and triggering a snap election for April 28.

Nepean was previously held by Liberal MP Chandra Arya, who was disqualified from the Liberal leadership race and most recently from running as a candidate in the riding.
