Former MP Dave MacKenzie is backing the Liberal candidate in a coming byelection in his riding over concerns about the Conservative nomination process for the Oxford riding
Mr. Khanna served ascampaign chair for Mr. Poilievre’s successful bid to be Conservative Leader and is currently the party’s outreach chair. He ran unsuccessfully for the Tories in Brampton, Ont., in 2019.
Mr. MacKenzie said he has been concerned that Mr. Scheer strongly backed Mr. Khanna for the nomination: “Why would Andrew Scheer want to bring a guy in from Brampton?” he said.“I am not knocking Pierre. Pierre’s got some people around him that he might question at some point.” “When I am in the riding, a lot of people say they are not happy, and they are looking for somewhere else to go. And people know David, and as soon as you say he’s going to run, they are happy,” Mr. MacKenzie said.
