India, March 23 -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will make his electoral debut in the seat in the House of Commons represented by Indo-Canadian MP Chandra Arya, whose candidacy for the 2025 federal election was revoked on Thursday.

That Carney will run for the riding (as a constituency is called in Canada) of Nepean in Ontario, a suburban area of the national capital, Ottawa, was announced by the ruling Liberal Party on Saturday.

"We're thrilled to announce that our Leader, Mark Carney, will be our candidate for Nepean in the next election," the party said in a statement. It said that Ottawa was where Carney "raised his family, devoted his career to public service, and always gave back to his community."
