| Description | REGINA -- RCMP launched a criminal investigation Thursday involving the recent Saskatchewan NDP leadership campaign.
Insp. Stewart Kingdon wouldn't say exactly what the Mounties are investigating or provide further details.
NDP CEO Deb McDonald said the Mounties requested 1,102 membership forms that were submitted in April by an overzealous volunteer from the Dwain Lingenfelter campaign that were later cancelled by the party.
"We immediately said we would absolutely co-operate in any way that we can," McDonald said.
"On Monday we turned over the memberships and today they informed me that they are starting a criminal investigation."
Lingenfelter won the party leadership on Saturday, capturing 55 per cent of the votes cast, compared to 45 per cent of the votes garnered by Saskatoon doctor Ryan Meili. |
