Joseph G. Van Belleghem (St. Boniface) served in the legislative assembly as a Liberal-Progressive from 1949 to 1953, and originally sought renomination with the party in the buildup to the 1953 election.
He was dissatisfied with the nomination process, however, and complained that he was not notified of when meetings were scheduled to occur(Winnipeg Free Press, 24 April 1953).
Van Belleghem withdrew from the nomination race and contested the election as an Independent Liberal-Progressive, against official party candidates Roger Teillet and L. Raymond Fennell.
