CALGARY – The Alberta Liberal Party says its leader, David Khan, is stepping down.

A news release from the party on Sunday evening says Khan is accepting a new job in law.

It says the party’s board of directors will meet shortly to decide on its next steps.

Khan failed to win a seat in Calgary Mountain-View in the April 2019 vote, an election in which the Liberals failed to win any seats.

A lawyer specializing in Indigenous rights and land-claims litigation, Khan won the party’s leadership in 2017.

The Liberals were once the province’s official Opposition, but after a high of 32 seats in 1993, the party suffered from ups and downs until it fell to third-party status in the legislature in 2012 and elected only one member in 2015.
