Here are the federal candidates (so far) for Nunavut

NOTE: This story will be updated as more parties announce their candidates.

It's official.

Canadians will head to the polls on April 28, and Nunavummiut will cast their ballot to decide who will represent them in Ottawa.

There is only one riding in Nunavut.

So far, the NDP and Greens are the only political parties that have declared their candidates for the seat.

Brennan Wauters

Brennan Wauters is the Green Party's candidate vying to represent Nunavut in Ottawa.

Wauters initially ran in the B.C. riding of Peace River North in last year's provincial election, but was removed from the B.C. Green Party's list of candidates, according to Energetic City. He previously ran for the party in the 2021 federal election in the riding of Central Okanagan–Similkameen–Nicola and in the riding of Burnaby South in the 2019 federal election.

The party had earlier named another person to CBC News as their Nunavut candidate, but later said that was done in error and confirmed that Wauters is in fact the candidate.

Lori Idlout

NDP candidate Lori Idlout will be seeking re-election as Nunavut's MP. Idlout was first elected in 2021 as Nunavut's MP after her predecessor Mumilaaq Qaqqaq did not seek re-election after one term in Parliament.

Idlout says she wants to advocate for sustainable investments into the territory. 

"Because investments don't come soon enough or ... are only short-term, there's no long-term sustainable funding," Idlout said. "[It] makes it feel like [Nunavummiut] are the last priority."

CBC News has also reached out to the Liberal and Conservative parties asking about their candidates for the Nunavut riding. 

In an email, Liberal Party of Canada communications director Parker Lund wrote that "we've had a number of community leaders express interest in running", but no one has yet been confirmed as the Liberal candidate.

The Conservatives have yet to respond.
