Conservative leader Poilievre to face leadership review at policy convention, likely in January
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre responds to the speech from the throne during a press conference in the foyer of the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will face a leadership review vote, likely in January, at a full Conservative Party of Canada policy convention in Calgary, CTV News has learned. The Globe and Mail first reported the story. The exact dates of the convention have yet to be confirmed. The Conservatives picked up 22 seats in the last election and won more than eight million votes nation-wide, but Poilievre lost his own seat, which he had held since 2004. Poilievre is set to run in the Alberta riding of Battle River–Crowfoot in a byelection — likely to be held this summer — after Conservative MP Damien Kurek stepped aside to allow the Conservative leader another shot at winning a seat. CTV News has asked the party for official comment.

Poilievre to undergo Conservative Party leadership review in January
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will face a mandatory leadership review in January, after the party failed to form government in the last federal election. The Conservative Party's national council agreed on Saturday that the leadership review would take place in Calgary, according to CBC News sources. The Globe and Mail first reported the story. If a leader does not resign following an election loss, the party's constitution requires Conservative Party members to vote on whether that leader should stay on at its next national convention.
