MP Chandra Arya is the second candidate and first current Liberal caucus member to declare his candidacy for the leadership of the party.

Ayra announced his decision in a video message on Jan. 9, saying his vision is that the country needs to provide equal opportunities for younger generations to “unleash” entrepreneurship, and allow children and grandchildren to “embrace family values and take pride in a renewed, vibrant Canadian identity.”
