Allan Kerpan

Allan Edward Joseph Kerpan (born 9 December 1954 in Kenaston, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian politician.

He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the Moose Jaw—Lake Centre electoral district in the 1993 federal election. After realignment of riding boundaries, he was re-elected at the Blackstrap electoral district in the 1997 federal election. Kerpan was a member of the Reform party, later renamed the Canadian Alliance. After serving in the 35th and 36th Canadian Parliaments, he did not seek a third term of office, leaving federal politics as of the 2000 federal election. In his last years as MP, Kerpan was infamous for his poor attendance record in Parliament.

Today, Allan Kerpan is a member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan under the Saskatchewan Party. He entered provincial politics in June 2003 when he won a by-election at the Carrot River Valley riding succeeding Carl Kwiatkowski whose death left the provincial electoral district vacant. Later that year, Kerpan was re-elected in the general provincial elections, after the boundaries of Carrot River Valley were realigned.
