Vancouver will not have its first Muslim mayor in 2018.
That’s because the only declared candidate for a major-party nomination, Taleeb Noormohamed, has pulled out of the race due to health reasons.
The 41-year-old tech entrepreneur and former federal Liberal candidate announced on May 23 that he would seek Vision Vancouver’s endorsement.
His only competitor was Ian Campbell, a hereditary chief and twice-elected councillor with the Squamish Nation.
“Yesterday, I was hospitalized following a sudden cardiac event,” Noormohamed said in a statement. “Doctors have advised me that rest, monitoring, and follow-up are required. I will be taking their advice. While I am passionately committed to this race and to the type of city we can be, my health must come first.”

Wishing you a full recovery and yes without health we can do nothing. I pray for you and hope you will get back on track eventually. Sometimes what we want doesn’t happen due to a reason. There is a reason for everything that happens in our lives. Best of luck.
