Conservative leadership race: A look at the candidates as contest ends tonight
He used that momentum to sell a whopping 300,000 memberships, his campaign said, and leveraged a social media following he spent years amassing to reach supporters and collect data.In recent weeks, Poilievre’s campaign has turned its focus to aggressively making sure that those who signed up to vote for him actually cast their ballots — part of an overall ethos of not taking anything for granted.
Another factor the Charest campaign is counting on is support from the party members brought in by another centrist candidate, Patrick Brown. The Brampton, Ont., mayor was disqualified from the race in July over an allegation that he may have contravened federal election law, which he has denied. Keller said he’s also curious to see how Leslyn Lewis performs. The MP surprised many with her strong showing when she entered the 2020 contest as a relative unknown, then ended up placing third behind O’Toole and winning Saskatchewan.Like in the last race, she’s benefiting from support in the party’s well-mobilized social conservative wing, in part because of her opposition to abortion.
Rural Ontario MP Scott Aitchison and former Ontario legislator Roman Baber are the race’s two newest faces.
