WINNIPEG – NDP MLA Theresa Oswald is leaving politics. The former health minister who nearly unseated Premier Greg Selinger after a cabinet revolt last fall, informed Selinger Tuesday morning that she will not be seeking re-election this April.
The Seine River MLA was one of five Cabinet Ministers who spoke out against Selinger’s leadership after a PST hike. She lost by only 33 votes when she ran against him for leader last March.
