Veteran NDP MP Charlie Angus has announced he will not be seeking re-election after serving in the House of Commons for 20 years and winning his riding in seven different elections.

Mr. Angus announced his departure from federal politics on April 4 on his Facebook page, saying that he would not be seeking re-election as his current riding, Timmins-James Bay, will be expanded into a new larger riding encompassing Mushkegowuk-Kapuskasing-Timmins.
