Complaint against Kenney dismissed by PCAA

Feb 13, 2017 | 6:42 AM

EDMONTON – The Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta has dismissed a call to have leadership candidate Jason Kenney turfed from the race.

Party member Jeffrey Rath accused Kenney in a formal complaint of actively undermining the party to make it an easy takeover target.

The party’s leadership election committee has ruled Kenney’s platform does not harm the PC brand and that the future of the party is up to its members.

PC president Katherine O’Neill says the party takes all complaints seriously and there was no violation of the rules.

Kenney says he is glad the committee dismissed the complaint.

In a post on social media Kenney thanks Albertans for their support.

Last week, Rath said Kenney appears to be planning to either destroy the PC party and create one in its place or leave the party in such a state that the right can unite under the Opposition Wildrose.

Rath was volunteering for one of Kenney’s leadership rivals, legislature member Richard Starke, but said he filed the complaint on his own.

Starke, Kenney and candidate Byron Nelson will square off in a delegate vote for the PC leadership on March 18th.
