The leader of Manitoba’s Opposition not only quit the top job Monday, he quit the entire Progressive Conservative caucus, leaving it in disarray on the eve of a new sitting. Obby Khan fought back tears as he stood in his legislature office and said internal fighting and feuding had taken an intolerable toll. Khan said he’ll sit as an Independent effective Tuesday, just as the provincial legislature is set to return. “I want nothing more than to keep fighting for the people of this province and for a better Manitoba, but I will not fight my own party or caucus,” Khan said. He said that despite winning a caucus confidence vote Friday by more than two-to-one, a minority of members lacking “moral integrity” have since been working to undermine his leadership. “I will not sacrifice my principles to keep this title,” Khan said.
