Conservatives to Vote on Poilievre’s Leadership at National Convention This Week The Conservative Party will hold its national convention in Calgary from January 29-31, where delegates will vote on Pierre Poilievre’s leadership. This review follows the departure of two MPs to the Liberal party and Poilievre trailing Prime Minister Mark Carney in public polls. According to the party’s constitution, if the leader doesn’t resign after an election loss, delegates must vote on their continuation; a majority vote against the leader triggers an interim appointment and a new leadership contest.
