There will be lots of changes on the local political scene as both Souris-Moose Mountain MP Dr. Robert Kitchen and Moosomin MLA Steven Bonk announced last week they will not run for re-election, and Bonk announced he will run for the Conservative nomination in Souris-Moose Mountain.
Dr. Robert Kitchen announced Monday he has decided not to let his name stand for re-election as MP for Souris-Moose Mountain. Kitchen will serve out his current term.
“I’ve decided that I’m not going to run in the next federal election,” Kitchen told the World-Spectator. He said he only recently decided not to run for re-election but he is comfortable with his decision. “It’s a decision that I’ve made and a decision that I will live with,” he said.
After Kitchen’s announcement, Moosomin MLA Steven Bonk announced he will seek the Conservative nomination in Souris-Moose Mountain and will not seek re-election as Moosomin MLA.
“I am excited to announce that I will be seeking the Conservative Party nomination for the Souris Moose-Mountain riding,” Bonk said. “I was proud to be co-captain of Pierre Poilievre’s Saskatchewan team during his leadership race.”
