Kenney had been silent on the issue this week, but told Postmedia in a brief exchange Sunday that he stands by Singh.

“All I know is what you know,” Kenney said of the police investigation.

The UCP leader was approached by Postmedia for comment after a brief appearance at Vaisakhi celebrations with Edmonton’s Sikh community at Meadows Community Recreation Centre Sunday afternoon.

Kenney confirmed “he’s our candidate” before driving away in his blue UCP truck.

The RCMP has not released the nature of the investigation.

In a statement issued Friday night, Singh said he has done nothing wrong and accused political opponents of undermining his campaign and the UCP.
