A former Winnipeg Blue Bomber and current business owner has announced he will be running for the nomination as the Progressive Conservative candidate in Fort Whyte.
Obby Khan said he is seeking the nomination for the constituency that used to be held by former premier Brian Pallister.
"I was warmly embraced by this city and province during the six years I played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and have been given so many opportunities to succeed, on and off the field," Khan said in a news release.
"My goal now is to further give back by seeking to serve as a strong voice and community champion for Fort Whyte."
After his time in the CFL, Khan opened six restaurants in the city and started initiatives like GoodLocal.ca.
"Winnipeg's winning attitude comes from our ability to stick together and work through tough times. I am a team player who will make sure I do everything possible to protect and strengthen the Fort Whyte constituency, in all of its diversity, by listening and working collaboratively with everyone," he said.
A by-election has not yet been called for the area, but Khan said it is "imminent" following Pallister's resignation.
