McGowan withdraws, is the race Nenshi’s to lose?
The field to replace Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley just got a little smaller. Union boss Gil McGowan is bowing out. He said the final instalment of the 60-thousand-dollar entrance fee is too high. That leaves four candidates left to replace Notley on June 22nd. They are former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, Edmonton MLAs Sarah Hoffman and Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse and Calgary MLA Kathleen Ganley. A total of 85,144 members are eligible to vote for our province’s next NDP leader. Ballots will be sent out at the end of the month and voting will begin on June 3rd.
