As a result, the PC party—then led by Ed Stelmach—voted not to endorse Chandler for the Calgary-Edgemont riding. Chandler then ran as an Independent, and lost.
Chandler says he is a founding member of the Wildrose Party but party leader Danielle Smith denies this and says Chandler is not welcome at party events.
On Wednesday night, Chandler announced his intention to seek the PC nomination in Calgary Shaw.
