Basically it's "Elect me before the truth of my shady tactics and potentially illegal behaviour come out". Definitely something a person with clean hands would do.

United Conservative Party Leader Jason Kenney refused to comment this weekend on a reported court injunction seeking to shut down an investigation — into the funding of the so-called “kamikaze” leadership campaign — until after the Alberta election.
At a press conference, Kenney said he wouldn’t speak on a matter before the courts and said he only learned about it after a CBC story was published Friday afternoon.
“All I can tell you is that we’ve been clear from day one that, on any of these questions, we are happy to assist either the office of the election commissioner, the RCMP, or anyone else,” he said.
The apparent emergency court order, which aims to delay an investigation into irregular campaign contributions during the leadership race between Jeff Callaway, Kenney and former Wildrose Leader Brian Jean in 2017, was reportedly filed at the Calgary courthouse on Friday.
If successful, the injunction would suspend the probe until after the April 16 election.
The injunction reportedly named Callaway, wife Nicole Callaway, Jennifer Thompson, Darren Thompson, Bonnie Thompson and Robyn Lore as applicants. None could reached by Postmedia on Saturday.
According to the filing obtained by CBC, each of the six applicants has been contacted by the Office of the Election Commissioner regarding the leadership race.
