Former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi has entered the race to lead Alberta's NDP, aiming to replace current leader Rachel Notley. Nenshi's candidacy has stirred controversy with his strong remarks against UCP and promises to shake up the party. Various reactions from political figures and analysts have highlighted Nenshi's potential impact on the party's direction, with some suggesting he may bring a more leftist approach than the NDP itself.
