James Allum is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba in the 2011 election.[1] He represented the electoral district of Fort Garry-Riverview as a member of the New Democratic Party of Manitoba caucus.[2]
On November 3, 2014, Allum was appointed as Minister of Justice after then-minister Andrew Swan, along with four other ministers, resigned from cabinet over concerns about Premier Greg Selinger's leadership.[3]
Allum announced in late 2018 that he would not run in the next provincial election (which was expected in 2020 but were held in 2019 instead), wherein Fort Garry-Riverview was due to be abolished by electoral redistribution.[4] Allum is the only MLA for Fort Garry-Riverview.
