Naheed Nenshi voted new Alberta NDP leader in landslide victory

Alberta’s New Democratic Party has found a new leader in former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi — who won by a landslide.

A little more than 62,000 members selected Nenshi as the new leader Saturday afternoon, ending a months-long leadership race between Edmonton MLAs Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse and Sarah Hoffman, and Calgary MLA Kathleen Ganley.

Nenshi, who won the leadership race with 62,746 votes, becomes the first from Calgary to lead the New Democrats, securing the win with roughly 86 per cent of the vote on the first ballot of the party’s biggest and most competitive leadership contest.
