Liberal MP Chandra Arya has been informed by his party that his candidacy for the upcoming election in the Nepean riding has been revoked, just weeks after his removal from the Liberal leadership race.

National Campaign Director Andrew Bevan informed Arya in a March 20 letter that the Liberal Party’s National Campaign Co-chair had conducted a “thorough review” of his eligibility as a candidate in the next federal election.
