Amarjeet Sohi has been non-committal about his political future and if he will run for mayor again.

He continued to be mum on the subject Thursday , when holding a housing announcement news conference with Prime Minister Mark Carney in central Edmonton .

The rumours come as the federal Liberal party is experiencing a turnaround in public favor.

A recent Ipsos poll found the Liberals are widening their lead over the Conservatives .

PM will call the 45th federal election no later than Sunday , Global News has confirmed.

If he were to run, Sohi could step down as mayor to do so, or take a leave of absence from city council .

If successful, that could leave the mayor’s seat empty for more than half a year before the municipal election.

Carney is the only leader of a major Canadian federal party who has a higher approval rating than disapproval rating.
