This comes after former Conservative MP Bob Benzen retired from politics at the end of 2022.
Benzen made the announcement in October last year, calling his service “an honour and a privilege.” Benzen won the April 2017 byelection after former prime minister Stephen Harper retired in 2016.“As a Member of Parliament, I have always voted with the best interests of Calgary and Alberta in mind, while staying true to my constituents and my conscience,” Benzen said in October.
“It was never my intention to become a career politician. As my time in public service comes to an end, I look forward to returning to private business and family life,” Benzen said.
