The NDP candidate for Nunavut has withdrawn from the federal election race, citing personal reasons.

Amanda Ford-Rogers, who works as the constituency assistant for a territorial MLA, was chosen to represent the party in early December.

Marie Dominique Sice, a spokesperson for the NDP, says Ford-Rogers remains supportive of the party.

She said the party plans to nominate a new candidate but it does not have a name at this point.

The Liberal incumbent, Nancy Karetak-Lindell, has won the seat in the last four elections.

They need to throw out the liberal candidate. Infant mortality and child poverty in Canada's newest territory are a national disgrace.
