US EditionCBC projects Pierre Poilievre will win Battle River-Crowfoot byelection
Poilievre won with nearly 81% of the vote in a record-candidate by-election triggered by a former MP stepping down to allow his return to Parliament.
- In a Central Alberta riding, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre won the Battle River-Crowfoot byelection on Monday, returning to the House of Commons.
- Following his departure, Damien Kurek, former Conservative MP, stepped down shortly after the spring general election to let Poilievre run.
- A record 214 candidates contested the byelection, and by 10:30 p.m., Poilievre had nearly 81 per cent of the vote against 213 opponents.
- Following his return to the House, Poilievre's victory enables him to challenge Mr. Carney on Sept. 15, while facing a January 2026 leadership review.
- Broadly, the win reaffirms Battle River-Crowfoot’s status as a reliably Conservative riding despite the Alberta separatist movement Poilievre opposes.
