Conservative leader Poilievre to face leadership review at policy convention, likely in January

CALGARY, ALBERTA, JUN 16 – Pierre Poilievre faces a mandatory leadership review after losing his seat and the federal election, with party members voting on his future at the Calgary convention in January.

  • Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party, is expected to undergo a mandatory leadership review at the party’s policy convention likely scheduled for January 2026 in Calgary.
  • The review follows Poilievre's loss of his long-held Carleton seat in Ottawa in the April 28 election, despite his party increasing seats by 22 nationwide.
  • Poilievre plans to run in a by-election this summer in the safe Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot, vacated by Conservative MP Damien Kurek stepping aside for him.
  • Leaders only need a majority to keep their position in the review, but there is an expectation of nearly 80 percent support to avoid pressure to resign, a threshold Poilievre may find challenging.
  • The review will provide party members a chance to weigh in on Poilievre's leadership after the loss, and his success in the by-election could significantly impact his standing.
