Nova Scotia Tory leader to be chosen at late October convention in Halifax
HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservatives have announced that the provincial party’s next leader will be decided at a convention in late October.
Leadership committee co-chairs Tara Erskine and Chris d’Entremont unveiled details about the race at the party’s annual general meeting in Halifax on Sunday.
They said each of the province’s 51 constituencies will count for 100 points, to be allocated based on the proportion of votes each candidate receives from party members in that area.
The votes will be tallied at the PC Party’s convention in Halifax over Oct. 26 and 27, and the candidate who wins the majority of the 5,100 points available will become the next leader of Nova Scotia’s Tories.
