The Saskatchewan NDP has named small business owner and educator Noor Burki as a candidate for the Regina Coronation Park by-election.

“It is my honour to represent the NDP in this by-election,” said Burki. “As a business owner, educator and father, my dedication is to ensuring the brightest future possible for my children, your children, and everyone in Saskatchewan.”

Burki is a small business owner, a driving instructor, and a father to seven daughters. He lives in Regina with his wife, Shamim and owns the Wascana Driving School while serving as a driving instructor to students within the Regina Public School system.

“I am so excited to have a pillar of the community like Noor as our candidate in Regina Coronation Park,” said NDP Leader Carla Beck. “It’s clear that he has energized folks here in Regina Coronation Park and is ready to represent his constituents. With his proven track record of action, I know he will work tirelessly to serve the people of Regina Coronation as their MLA, and I cannot wait to hit the doors with him to make that a reality.”

Burki previously ran for the NDP in Regina Coronation Park for the 2020 general election losing to Mark Docherty by 283 votes.

There is currently no scheduled date for the Regina Coronation Park by-election.
