A member of Canada‘s Parliament announced he would abandon his seat to ensure that Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre can run in a special election and return to the House of Commons.
Conservative MP Damien Kurek indicated on Friday that he would only be “temporarily” abandoning the seat of Battle River-Crowfoot in Alberta, which he handily secured reelection to on Monday with 82% of the vote.
“Although it will be hard to temporarily step away from this role, in this region I love and have always called home, the mandate given to me is one that clearly states that change is needed,” Kurek said.
“Offering this seat to our party leader is an important step in that process,” he added.
Poilievre praised Kurek for the “selfless” move and vowed to “earn the trust of the good people of Battle River-Crowfoot.”
