OTTAWA — Green Party deputy leader Jonathan Pedneault is planning to run for a seat in the House of Commons in an upcoming byelection in Montreal's Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount riding.

The 32-year-old ran on a joint ticket to share the party leadership in November with longtime member of Parliament Elizabeth May. The party's constitution has not yet been changed to make the pair co-leaders so Pedneault is the deputy leader. The Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Westmount seat was created in 2015 and the area has long been considered a Liberal stronghold.A victory for Pedneault in the June 19 vote would see him join May and Mike Morrice as Green Party MPs in Ottawa.
