| Description | OTTAWA—Quebec MP and longtime Cree activist Roméo Saganash will drop out of the New Democratic leadership race on Friday after realizing he was unlikely to get enough support to win.
“It is impossible to run a winning campaign as the favourite second choice,” Saganash wrote in a statement Thursday evening. “People send you good wishes, but they don’t send their money.”
Saganash will make an announcement at a hotel in Val d’Or, Que., Friday morning.
The reaction from aboriginal people to the first indigenous person running for the leadership of a major political party has been “tremendous,” Saganash said, but reaching out to them requires more than what a single campaign can do. |
