Who is Amir Khadir?
Amir Khadir is a Canadian politician in the National Assembly of Quebec, Canada for the electoral district of Mercier, and the first male spokesperson for Québec Solidaire, a sovereigntist and left-wing political party which was created by the merger of the Union des Forces Progressistes and Option Citoyenne, a feminist political movement, in February 2006.
On December 8, 2008, Khadir became the first, and at that time, only elected representative for Québec Solidaire in the general election in Quebec. In 2012, Françoise David was elected in Gouin, making her the second elected representative for Québec Solidaire.
In November 2012, Khadir stepped down as co-spokesperson, to allow the party to choose a new co-spokesperson from outside of the legislature, in keeping with party statutes. "It's the logical next step. First, for a party that considers itself feminist, it would be fairly contradictory to finally have a female deputy of Françoise's quality in the National Assembly and not have her be the spokesperson," Khadir said.
