Former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi has officially announced he is running to be the leader of the Alberta NDP.
Nenshi announced his campaign on Monday afternoon, in a video posted to social media.
He highlighted housing, affordability and health care as some of the key issues facing Albertans.
“Albertans deserve a smart, capable government that focuses on the values and priorities we all share,” Nenshi said, in a press release.
“We need a government that focuses on prosperity and opportunity. On affordability and fairness. On our healthcare and education. On working to prevent the impacts of fire, flood and drought.”
Nenshi served as Calgary’s mayor for 11 years.
Rachel Notley announced in January she would step down as leader, as soon as her replacement is chosen.
