CBC Manitoba: MLA Obby Khan, hotelier Wally Daudrich meet deadline to run for Manitoba PC leader

The presence of no more than two potential candidates in this new race does not constitute robust competition, said Christopher Adams, an adjunct Professor of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba.

Adams said the usual leadership-race dynamic for the Manitoba PCs involves a competition between well-known urban and rural candidates.

Daudrich, the professor said, does not have the profile he would have expected from a candidate located outside Winnipeg.

“He’s not elected member. He doesn’t have a large constituency base. It’s not like he’s from Portage la Prairie,” Adams said. “He’s a successful business person up in Churchill, Manitoba.”
