Former Calgary mayor wins with a record 62,746 votes on the first ballot
Naheed Nenshi is the new leader of the Alberta NDP. The former Calgary mayor won with a huge landslide victory on the first ballot.
Here are the results of the NDP leadership vote:
- Naheed Nenshi: 62,746 (86%)
- Kathleen Ganley: 5,899 (8%)
- Sarah Hoffman: 3,063 (4%)
- Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse: 1,222 (2%)
Nenshi’s three-terms as mayor of Alberta’s largest city have made him one of the province’s most recognizable politicians. That name recognition and his history of electoral success in Calgary almost certainly helped carry him to his landslide first place finish in the race to replace Rachel Notley.
