DescriptionCALGARY — National Green party chief Jim Harris survived a leadership vote Sunday despite a strong challenge from candidates who feel the Greens have strayed too far from their left-leaning roots.

Harris, who led the party during the June federal election, won 54.8 per cent of votes cast by party members across the country.

Results were presented as the party concluded its national convention.

His nearest competitor was Ontario farmer Tom Manley, with 36.8 per cent of the vote, while substitute teacher John Grogan trailed with seven per cent.
