Poilievre Courts Delegates Ahead of Calgary Leadership Vote
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre hurries to secure delegates’ support at Calgary convention amid looming leadership review.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is racing to secure a majority of the 2,900 delegates at the party’s convention in Calgary, slated for Friday, Jan 29 2026, to fend off a leadership review. He has toured ridings across Canada, making phone calls and dropping in on members who will decide the outcome. An anonymous senior Conservative source said he has been speaking almost exclusively to delegates over the last weeks, leaving no chance of a surprise vote. A past leadership dispute in 2005 saw former Prime Minister Stephen Harper win 84 % of delegates to survive. Poilievre’s rivals note that a simple 50 % margin would be catastrophic. With roughly 350 Quebec delegates expected, weaker support in the province could help him.
