Over 180 Alberta PC party faithful up last Thursday, January 19, at the Canalta Jurassic Inn, to elect voting delegates for the March leadership election in Calgary.
Many Conservative members travelled from a long way to participate in the delegate selection process for the Drumheller-Stettler constituency.
Fifteen voting delegates will attend the leadership convention, and eleven were selected at the meeting. The other four are automatically named delegates, being constituency executive members.
A number of the candidates seeking to be delegates announced they would be supporting unite the right leadership candidate Jason Kenney, while many said they would be open-minded in their choice, in March.
"Jason Kenney is the one and only candidate that said Albertans have to unite and Albertans have a lot of work to do and that's where we are going," said Drumheller businessman John Satink, who has put his name in to be a delegate.
Diana Rowe is also in the running to be a delegate and says it appears the membership wants change.
“There is really a loud voice for uniting the PCs,”she said. “And we have to have a strong look at that and listen to what the membership is telling us.”
