Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux has announced his resignation from the House of Commons, stepping down from his role as the representative for Edmonton-Riverbend.

The announcement, made Thursday in a letter posted to social media, follows reports speculating about his political future and comes just days after another Conservative MP made headlines for switching parties.

“I ran in the last election hopeful that Canadians would put their faith in a team led by Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives,” reads the letter. “Although the outcome was not what I anticipated, I have great admiration for the many remarkable individuals who were elected to the House of Commons on both sides of the aisle.”

“For now, my focus must turn entirely to my family and to the responsibilities that come with that.”
