UCP won’t release report on vote dust-up, cites privacy
EDMONTON – The United Conservatives say they will not release an internal report on voting irregularities that led to the resignation of a Calgary legislature member.
The caucus also says it will reimburse the treasury more than $7,000 after Prab Gill charged taxpayers for what turned out to be a party event in February.
Gill resigned on the weekend following an investigation into allegations of ballot-box stuffing and other voting irregularities at a constituency meeting in Calgary North East, where Gill had been trying to win the party’s nomination.
Jeff Henwood, speaking for the party, said in a statement the United Conservatives won’t release the report to protect the privacy of people who were interviewed during the investigation but are not public figures.
