The antecedent electoral districts that comprise Calgary-Greenway have been returning Progressive Conservative candidates to office since the 1970s. Greenway was represented by Manmeet Bhullar until his death on November 23, 2015. He was first elected in a closely contested election in 2008 in the old riding of Calgary-Montrose. Prabhdeep Gill won the subsequent by-election for the PCs, which saw a slight increase in support for the Wildrose and a decrease of support for the Progressive Conservatives and the New Democrats from the 2015 election.[1]
