Independent MLA Hugh MacKay has announced he will not be re-offering in the next Nova Scotia election, as speculation swirls that the premier is gearing up for an election call.
MacKay has represented Chester-St. Margaret’s for four years.
He was initially elected as a Liberal in 2017, but resigned from the caucus in 2020 after being charged a second time for impaired driving.
In July of that year, he was ordered to stay away from the applicant of an emergency protection order.
In a Facebook post, MacKay said it has been “a great honour” to have served his constituents.
