Liberal MP-elect George Chahal flyer controversy sees new investigation and request to overturn results
CBC
Lawyers for the Conservative incumbent in Calgary Skyview who lost her seat to Liberal George Chahal will ask a Calgary judge to quash the election results in that riding because of the controversy surrounding campaign flyers, CBC News has learned.
The investigation has been taken over by the Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections (CCE).
Calgary police are not investigating any criminal wrongdoing but confirm they are in a supportive role for the CCE.
Chahal, a former city councillor, won the sole non-Conservative seat in the city that had previously been held by incumbent Jag Sahota.
The day before the election, Chahal was captured on a doorbell camera removing one of Sahota's campaign flyers and replacing it with one of his own.
In response to the video, Chahal said he took Sahota's flyer because it contained incorrect polling information.
But the flyer left by Chahal and provided to CBC Calgary by homeowner Glenn Pennett, a retired police officer, directs the voter to a polling station 16 kilometres from the one where he was required to cast a ballot.
