Jeff Potts has withdrawn his candidacy for the NDP in the Swift Current Constituency.

     The NDP announced that Bob Hale has been nominated as the candidate for Swift Current, just before the 2:00pm nomination deadline today.

     Jeff Potts was asked to withdraw from the campaign after making comments to the media and online that the NDP believed were inappropriate.

     The Saskatchewan Party claims Jeff Potts wrote that Sask Party Leader Brad Wall's father owns low-rent properties, and was posting election signs on those properties.
