Alberta Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux Resigns Amid Party Shift Speculation

Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux has announced his resignation from the House of Commons, stepping down as the representative for Edmonton-Riverbend. The announcement came Thursday through a letter posted on social media, following recent speculation about his political future and shortly after another Conservative MP changed parties.

“I ran in the last election hopeful that Canadians would put their faith in a team led by Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives,”
“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.”

Jeneroux expressed a desire to now focus fully on his family and personal responsibilities but did not specify the exact timing of his resignation. However, a response from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre indicates Jeneroux will remain 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,”
reads Poilievre’s message to Jeneroux.

Since 2015, Jeneroux has served as MP for Edmonton-Riverbend and held various shadow cabinet roles, including in health, housing, and infrastructure.

Summary: Alberta MP Matt Jeneroux has announced his planned resignation to focus on family, continuing in his role into 2026 while marking an era of shifts within Conservative ranks.
