As a latecomer to the race, it remains to be seen if Nenshi’s style of politics will win him the top job
Former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi made it official on Monday, joining the race to become the next leader of the Alberta NDP.In an interview with The Globe’s Kelly Cryderman days before he formally joined the race, Nenshi was clear why he, a politician who has long shunned partisan antics, decided he wanted to be the one to replace outgoing leader Rachel Notley and lead the Official Opposition against Premier Danielle Smith, calling her government “a dangerous mix of incompetent and immoral.
And while all the candidates would be fine leaders, the history between Nenshi and Smith could make for a fascinating clash in a provincial election scheduled for 2027. As The Globe’s Carrie Tait pointed out, his signature colour is purple, a blend of Liberal red and Conservative blue. And while he certainly has progressive bonafides, the party membership will decide if he’s one of them.
“They are less open to an outsider coming in, even with star power,” she said. “At the same time, they very much want to win the next election.”
