Fitzsimmons does say he had nothing to do with Lall being pulled as a Tory nomination candidate.

Lall was disallowed last month just days before a nomination vote was to take place.

Bruce McAllister, a former Wildrose MLA who crossed the floor to the PCs, ended up being acclaimed.

Two other members of the riding association board have also resigned.
