Prab Gill

Prabhdeep Gill (Punjabi: ਪ੍ਰਭਦੀਪ ਗਿੱਲ; born c. 1985) is a Canadian politician and a Member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.

He was elected in the 2016 Calgary-Greenway by-election to replace Manmeet Bhullar, who had died in a car accident between Calgary and Edmonton.

The initial appointment drew controversy, as it appeared that the party establishment was preventing an open nomination process.

[5] Gill was elected in the by-election with 27.73% of the popular vote, finishing four points ahead of Devinder Toor, the Wildrose Party candidate, and almost 8 points ahead of Roop Rai, the New Democrat candidate, whose party held a majority in the Legislature at that time.

Gill's by-election win allowed the PCs to maintain their legislative caucus of 9 members.
