NDP Leader Claudia Chender said her party is also focused on recruiting Black candidates for the nomination.
"We have lots of good connections and relationships in the Preston riding and the conversations we are having now are all with folks from African Nova Scotian communities in that riding who feel that they would best be able to represent the needs of those communities," she said in an interview.
Chender said it's "crucial" that parties put an emphasis on finding candidates in protected districts who reflect the communities in those districts, a sentiment she said members of her party are hearing from people in Preston as they discuss the pending byelection.
