The province has announced the United Conservative Party candidacy of Rajan Sawhney for Calgary-North West after declining to run in her current jurisdiction of Calgary-North East in February.
The spot in Calgary-North West opened up earlier this month after minister Sonya Savage announced she would not be running in the upcoming election.
Sawhney, the minister of trade, immigration and multiculturalism under Danielle Smith’s current UCP government, was elected in 2019 for the Calgary-North East riding.Premier Smith said Sawhney has played a vital role in her cabinet and wanted to keep Sawhney involved even after she initially stepped down.
“So, when Sonya Savage told me she was going to step down so that she could spend more time with family, I went back to minister Sawhney and I said ‘Do you think you might want to run there?’”
