Alberta's NDP nominated Edmonton Public School Board trustee Nathan Ip Saturday to run in the Edmonton-South West riding, currently held by UCP Labour and Immigration Minister Kaycee Madu.
Alberta’s Opposition nominated Edmonton Public School Board trustee Nathan Ip to run in the capital’s only riding held by the United Conservative Party.
In a Saturday news release, the province’s New Democratic Party announced Ip as their candidate for Edmonton-South West in Alberta’s 2023 election. Labour and Immigration Minister Kaycee Madu currently represents the riding, and is the only UCP MLA with a seat in the city.
Ip, a three-term trustee for Ward H in southwest Edmonton, said he’s “deeply worried” about the province’s direction, and listed the UCP’s draft kindergarten to Grade 6 curriculum among his complaints.
“I’m excited for the chance to be a voice for my community, and to build a future for Alberta where no one is left behind,” he said, adding that the riding is home to a young and fast-growing community that deserves a representative who will stand up for it.

Ip announced he was joining the race for the Edmonton-South West nomination on March 29, and has said he’s running to protect publicly funded education, help build new schools, and provide leadership that serves community needs.
“We are in dire need for new schools in the growing areas of Edmonton-South West,” he said Saturday.
