Six candidates will be on the ballot for this fall’s Conservative leadership race.
Conservative Party officials confirmed the list of verified candidates on Monday morning.
They include Scott Aitchison, Roman Baber, Patrick Brown, Jean Charest, Leslyn Lewis, and Pierre Poilievre.
Six others withdrew from the race or failed to qualify as candidates.
Candidates had until Friday to submit all endorsement signatures, the full registration fee, and the full compliance deposit.
Conservatives will vote for their next leader on Sept. 10. Members must be in good standing by June 3.
Candice Bergen is serving as interim leader after Erin O’Toole was removed as the leader in February.
LEOC is happy to confirm that six Verified Candidates will appear on the leadership ballot.
