Prime Minister Justin ̨ÍåMMÂãÁÄÊÒ says he will not run again in his Montreal riding in the next general election.
The news comes just over a week after ̨ÍåMMÂãÁÄÊÒ announced he will step down as leader of the Liberal party as soon as a new leader is elected.
̨ÍåMMÂãÁÄÊÒ was first elected in 2008 for the Montreal riding of Papineau in a narrow victory over the Bloc Québécois.
He led the Liberals to victory seven years later and has been prime minister now for more than nine years.
The Liberals will choose a new leader to replace ̨ÍåMMÂãÁÄÊÒ after a national leadership race on March 9.
Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney is expected to formally enter the race to replace ̨ÍåMMÂãÁÄÊÒ Thursday, with former finance minister Chrystia Freeland expected to follow a few days later.
