Premier Brian Pallister, leader of the Canadian province of Manitoba, said on Tuesday he will not seek re-election, amid waning popularity over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and for his government's inflamed relations with indigenous groups.
Pallister, 67, a former school teacher and member of Parliament, has served as premier for five years, winning consecutive majority governments."By stepping aside at the midpoint of our mandate, I believe this will provide sufficient time not only for party members to choose a new leader but for Manitobans to get to know the new leader," Pallister said in Brandon, Manitoba.
His handling of the pandemic generated criticism from doctors, however, for failing to tighten economic restrictions enough to prevent deadly waves of infection, which were at times the most severe in Canada.
