Pierre Poilievre elected leader of the Conservative Party of Canada – National | Globalnews.ca:
The party veteran and former cabinet minister, known for his
combative style, won a resounding first-ballot victory – with 68 per
cent of support – that prompted applause to erupt in the room of
Conservative faithful at a downtown Ottawa convention centre.
Jean
Charest, the former Quebec premier who likely had the best chance of
preventing Poilievre from winning the leadership, earned just 16 per
cent of support on the first ballot, placing him in distant second
place.
Poilievre also earned widespread support across the
country, being the first choice for Conservative party voters in nearly
every riding.
