A federal byelection will be held in September to fill a vacant seat in Manitoba, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Sunday.

Voters will go to the polls in the Elmwood — Transcona riding in Manitoba on Sept. 16.

The Manitoba riding was held by the New Democratic Party until MP Daniel Blaikie resigned in March to go work for the office of the province's Premier, Wab Kinew. 

Blaikie had held the federal seat since the 2015 election.

Ian MacIntyre, a former teacher and president of the Manitoba Teachers' Society, is running for the Liberals in Elmwood — Transcona.

The Conservatives will run electrician Colin Reynolds as their candidate, while Leila Dance, the executive director of the Transcona BIZ, will run for the NDP.
