Rahim Jaffer Considering Edmonton Federal Byelection Candidacy

Former MP Rahim Jaffer is considering a run for the Edmonton-area seat vacated by Conservative Matt Jeneroux, coinciding with his mother’s plan to downsize. Jaffer, who supports party leader Pierre Poilievre and his focus on crime, is weighing his options over the holidays. Although he is not currently a Conservative member, he may attend the upcoming national convention. Jaffer previously served as an MP before losing a tight race in 2008 and faced controversies, including a DUI arrest in 2009.
