David Khan (born May 17, 1974) is a Canadian politician who led the Alberta Liberal Party from 2017 to 2020. Prior to running for leader, he served as the party's executive vice-president.[2] He was elected leader on June 4, 2017.[1][3]
Khan did not support co-operation with the Alberta Party, but did support forging closer ties with the Liberal Party of Canada.[4] His leadership platform included a basic income pilot project, elimination of the small business tax, proportional representation for the Legislature, more free votes for MLAs, bringing private schools into the public system, and establishing universal pharmacare for those under 24.[5][6]
