    Jason Kenney Says United Alberta Right Would Face 2nd Leadership Race

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 07 Jul, 2016 11:43 AM
      EDMONTON — MP Jason Kenney says his plan for a united right in Alberta includes a new party that would hold a leadership race before the next provincial election.
       
      Kenney made it clear at a news conference in Edmonton that he isn't interested in the Progressive Conservatives or the Opposition Wildrose taking each other over.
       
      His idea is that each party would hold a referendum on whether to approve the union before a new party was formed.
       
      Kenny announced on Wednesday that he will seek the leadership of the Alberta Tories with the intent of bringing together small-c conservatives to defeat the NDP government.
       
      The former Conservative cabinet minister says he would also let his name stand in any race to pick a leader for a newly formed party.
       
      Kenney says he'll give up his federal seat on Oct. 1 — the day the Tory leadership race officially begins.
