Nearly 85,150 NDP members are eligible to vote beginning Monday for the new leader, who will replace political heavyweight Rachel Notley
Alberta NDP leadership candidate Naheed Nenshi, centre, makes a closing statement as fellow candidates, left to right, Gil McGowan, Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse, Sarah Hoffman, and Kathleen Ganley look on during a leadership debate in Calgary on May 11.The final debate of the Alberta New Democratic Party leadership race saw the remaining four candidates give their last appeals for support, a day ahead of the start of voting to choose the successor of political heavyweight Rachel Notley.
“We really have an environment where anybody who feels like the UCP is taking us in the wrong direction, sees a home for themselves politically in the Alberta NDP,” he said in an interview on Sunday. “At the end of this race, we’re going to see a renewed excitement and enthusiasm to get ready for the next election.”
Then candidates gave their final pitch. While Mr. Nenshi focused his closing remarks on beating out the UCP, Ms. Hoffman centred more on her NDP values and record in office. Ms. Ganley highlighted her vision for collaborative leadership, and Ms. Stonehouse concentrated on her plans to protect water and govern for the next generation.
Ms. Ganley said the NDP has to go beyond criticizing the UCP and putting forward its own bold vision for the province and then stand behind it. “Water is life,” she said. “Water is prosperity. Prosperity is our future and our future must be about our children.”
