In case you missed it: Erin O'Toole named new Conservative Party leader

OTTAWA -- Erin O’Toole is the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, securing victory on the third ballot after a historic and months-long leadership campaign.

Conservative MP O’Toole defeated Peter MacKay, picking up considerable support from members supporting candidates Leslyn Lewis and Derek Sloan.Tap hereWhile MacKay was narrowly leading after the first ballot, which saw Sloan drop off the ballot and his points reallocated, by the second ballot O’Toole picked up ground from Lewis supporters.

The announcement of the federal political party’s new leader got underway at 12:20 a.m. ET Monday, after hours of delays due to thousands of ballots being damaged during the counting process. The support was calculated in points, with 100 points allocated to each of the 338 ridings, meaning there were 33,800 points up for grabs. The winner needed to secure at least 16,901 points to win. O’Toole secured 19,271.

O’Toole is now being given a chance to spell out his vision for the future and direction of the party, taking the stage to give his first speech as the new leader, hours later than anticipated.
