Deadline day to register as UCP member to vote for new leader

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Aug 12, 2022 4:14 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

It's deadline day to buy a ten-dollar Alberta United Conservative membership to vote for the next party leader and premier.

The party will then go through the memberships to confirm information and expects to have the final tally on how many have been sold in about two weeks or so.

Seven candidates are on the ballot seeking to replace Premier Jason Kenney in the party's top job.

The next key date in the race is the second debate, slated for August 30th in Edmonton.

Kenney announced in May he was quitting after receiving a lukewarm 51 per cent support in a party leadership review.
