The Manitoba Liberals have chosen a new interim leader. Judy Klassen of Steinbach was named leader on October 21. In April, Klassen was elected MLA for the northern riding of Kewatinook. Klassen says that she will work to build the party and ensure that the Liberals’ voice is heard.
Previous Liberal leader Rana Bokhari served for three years. Bokhari stepped down in September, following the party’s disappointing third place showing in the spring election.
