BREAKING: Pierre Poilievre Wins Leadership Review With 87 Percent Support
Poilievre Gets A Second Chance To Run Against Mark Carney
Pierre Poilievre has won his leadership review at the Conservative Party of Canada convention.
He received 87.4 percent support, securing a second chance to lead the party into the next federal election against the Liberals.
A result of 87.4 percent is above the 80 percent threshold that is generally considered strong support. While Poilievre only needed 50 percent of the vote to remain leader, it is widely believed that anything less than roughly 66.7 percent (two-thirds) would make it politically difficult to continue as party leader.
Ahead of the vote, Poilievre delivered a speech that drew several standing ovations from the crowd.
