Keith Russell was seeking the Conservative nomination in Labrador but says the process is flawed and the result already a ‘foregone conclusion’Keith Russell / Facebook. On Jan. 16 Keith Russell announced his bid for the Conservative Party of Canada’s nomination in Labrador. But just over a week later the former provincial cabinet minister backed out, citing issues with the party’s nomination process. The only other apparent candidate for the Conservative nomination in Labrador is Happy Valley-Goose Bay Deputy Mayor Ella Wallace, who also announced on Facebook on Jan. 16 that she was seeking the Conservative nomination for Labrador. It’s not clear if any other candidates have put their names forward for the Conservative nomination in Labrador.
