Alberta Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux Resigns Amid Party Speculation
Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux has announced his resignation from the House of Commons, stepping down as the representative for Edmonton-Riverbend. The news came in a letter posted on social media Thursday, following speculation about his political future and shortly after another Conservative MP switched parties.
“I ran in the last election hopeful that Canadians would put their faith in a team led by Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives,” Jeneroux wrote. “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.”
He added, “For now, my focus must turn entirely to my family and to the responsibilities that come with that.” The exact timing of his departure was not specified in the letter.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre responded with an online message suggesting Jeneroux will stay in his position into 2026:
“On behalf of our Conservative team, I wish you and your family all the best following your decision to step down as MP next spring.”
Since 2015, Jeneroux has represented Edmonton-Riverbend and served in several shadow cabinet roles, including health, housing, and infrastructure portfolios.
Summary: Matt Jeneroux’s resignation reflects personal priorities amid political uncertainty, as he plans to focus on family while leaving his Edmonton-Riverbend seat likely by spring 2026.
