Compiled by: Naila Jinnah with files from Nikhat Ahmed – Calgary, 18 October 2010 — The city of Calgary, Alberta was overcome by a “purple revolution” on Monday as Calgarians went to the polls and elected Naheed Nenshi their new mayor. The Harvard-educated professor and former McKinsey consultant is the first Muslim to be elected mayor of a major city in Canada.
“It’s exciting that Calgarians have endorsed my vision of the future of what this city could be,” Nenshi said, after being declared mayor-elect on Monday night. “I’m pretty elated.”
