Alleged by one-time party insiders that party operative Jeff Callaway ran as a so-called kamikaze candidate during the 2017 leadership race to undermine Kenney’s main rival, former Wildrose leader …
Premier Rachel Notley is demanding UCP leader Jason Kenney “come clean” amid a news report RCMP are probing allegations a candidate in that party’s leadership race was illegally funded.
Those insiders insist Callaway’s campaign was illegally funded by people who pushed money through others who falsely claimed to be the actual donors, which is illegal under Alberta election laws.On Friday, Notley said Kenney’s insistence on a quicker election call reflect the UCP leader’s attempt to outrun more revelations in the controversy.
Hoffman was also referring to unproven allegations the Kenney campaign in 2017 misused a computer voting system to its advantage. “No one called me back. Nothing was done. People involved in this mess were kept on payroll and remained candidates.”And he said the controversy is a distraction from issues important to Albertans, and that his 2017 campaign isn’t the target of the investigation.
“The result of those inquiries was that nobody was aware of, had heard anything about, or in any way participated in such activity,” said Kenney“The more desperate they get, the signs are there that they’ve lost the confidence of Albertans,” he said.Last month, the election commissioner fined former Callaway campaign manager Cameron Davies $15,000 for obstructing the investigation, though Davies’ lawyer said he’s appealing the penalty.
