UPDATE: Pierre Pollievre has put out a statement on social media about the resignation of Damien Kurek so that he may run in a by-election in Battle River-Crowfoot.
“It is with humility and appreciation that I have accepted Damien Kurek’s offer to resign his seat in Battle River-Crowfoot so that I can work to earn the support of citizens there to serve them in Parliament.”
A bombshell of a release this morning as the MP-elect for Battle River Crowfoot, which includes Drumheller, Three Hills, Stettler, Hanna, Oyen, and Camrose, has decided to give up his seat for Pierre Pollievre.
Damien Kurek, Conservative MP-elect for Battle River—Crowfoot released the following statement on his decision to resign his seat to allow Conservative Party of Canada Leader, Pierre Poilievre, to run in a forthcoming by-election.
“It has been a tremendous honour to serve the good people of Battle River-Crowfoot as their Member of Parliament since 2019. Their support and commitment to the Conservative movement and our mission to bring back hope and prosperity to this country has been unmatched. Which is why, after much discussion with my wife Danielle, and I have decided to step aside for this Parliamentary session to allow our Conservative Party Leader to run here in a by-election.”
“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. Offering this seat to our Party Leader is an important step in that process. I started my political career talking about the need for government to be held to account and to ensure that rural Canada wasn’t forgotten about, this is a key way to ensure that happens.”
As for when said by-election is to take place, that is up in the air right now. Once that information is available, we will surely pass along to you.
