Chandra Arya has been disqualified from the Liberal Party leadership race to become Canada’s next prime minister. Arya, who represents the riding of Nepean in Ontario, confirmed the news in a social media post.
He stated that the party informed him he would not be permitted to continue in the race to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Arya was among seven candidates who filed their nominations by Thursday’s deadline to enter the leadership contest.
The race now includes six candidates: former Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla, former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, former banker Mark Carney, Government House Leader Karina Gould, Nova Scotia MP Jaime Battiste, and Quebec MP Frank Baylis.
The party is expected to decide within 10 days which of these candidates will remain in the leadership race. Those approved will then require clearance from Elections Canada.
