EAST CENTRAL — It’s now a waiting game for Prince Albert Randy Hoback as he waits to see who will be the Conservative Party of Canada’s new leader.
The results of the race will be revealed Sunday, Aug. 23.
Hoback said he is endorsing Peter McKay for the leader of the party. The party cannot move forward without a majority government and McKay is the best person for that, he said.
That said, both Leslyn Lewis and Erin O’Toole would be good choices as well, Hoback said. The MP had supported O’Toole in the 2017 leadership race.
“There's some good people in the race, and those three, any of them I would be happy to serve and work with moving forward.”
Following Sunday’s announcement of the new party leader, Hoback said the next steps of rebuilding the party and getting new members into the party are going to be crucial for defeating the Liberals in the next election.
The leadership race will replace former Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer, who stepped down in February 2020. The winner will be announced on Sunday evening.
