Canada Votes: Liberal Candidate Peter Njenga

By Abigail Popple, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, RMG
Liberal candidate Peter Njenga did not respond to multiple interview requests from The Goat. He previously ran for the Liberal Party in the 2015 election, representing the Abbotsford electoral district, and ran as an independent nominee in the Panorama-Surrey riding during the 2017 provincial election.
According to reporting from The Prince George Citizen, Njenga visited the Citizen’s office in early April and said he has been living in Prince George for two weeks, having moved from Vancouver Island.
Njenga told the Citizen that Liberal leader Mark Carney is best equipped to handle international relations in the face of a trade war with the U.S.
According to the Citizen, Njenga told reporters other candidates in the region “are hiding,” believing that they had not spoken to local media.
