'''Prabhdeep Gill''' ({{lang-pa|'''ਪ੍ਰਭਦੀਪ ਗਿੱਲ'''}}; born c. 1985) is a Canadian politician and a Member of the [[Legislative Assembly of Alberta]]. He was elected in the 2016 [[Calgary-Greenway]] by-election to replace [[Manmeet Bhullar]], who had died in a car accident between Calgary and Edmonton.<ref name="cbc">{{cite news|title=PCs name Prabhdeep Gill as Calgary-Greenway byelection candidate|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/pcs-calgary-greenway-byelection-candidate-1.3461827|accessdate=24 March 2016|work=CBC News|date=Feb 24, 2016}}</ref><ref name="election">{{cite news|last1=Wood|first1=James|title=Tories hold Calgary-Greenway riding after byelection|url=https://calgaryherald.com/news/politics/close-results-so-far-in-calgary-greenway-byelection|accessdate=24 March 2016|work=Calgary Herald|date=23 March 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />

<br />
== Political career ==<br />
Gill won the nomination for the PC candidate in the 2016 Calgary-Greenway byelection, after being first appointed by the party. The initial appointment drew controversy, as it appeared that the party establishment was preventing an open nomination process. As such, Gill's initial nomination was withdrawn by interim leader [[Ric McIver]], though he won the nomination by election two days after.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Wood|first1=Damien|title=Prabhdeep Gill named PC candidate for Calgary-Greenway — again|url=http://www.calgarysun.com/2016/02/27/prabhdeep-gill-named-pc-candidate-for-calgary-greenway--again|accessdate=24 March 2016|work=Calgary Sun|date=February 27, 2016}}</ref> Gill was elected in the by-election with 27.73% of the popular vote, finishing four points ahead of Devinder Toor, the [[Wildrose Party]] candidate, and almost 8 points ahead of Roop Rai, the [[Alberta New Democratic Party|New Democrat]] candidate, whose party held a majority in the Legislature at that time. Gill's by-election win allowed the PCs to maintain their legislative caucus of 9 members.<ref name="election"/><br />
