| Description | Alberta Premier Jason Kenney resigned as United Conservative Party leader Wednesday after receiving 51.4 per cent approval of his leadership from UCP members.
"The result is not what I hoped for or frankly what I expected," Kenney told a gathering of supporters and volunteers in Calgary after the results of the leadership review were announced.
"While 51 per cent of the vote passes the constitutional threshold of a majority, it clearly is not adequate support to continue on as leader."
Kenney had previously stated he would accept a result of 50 per cent plus one. |
