Harper said the contest to lead the party is filled with strong candidates, but one stands out — his former cabinet minister Pierre Poilievre
Harper’s endorsement comes with less than two months left in the race, and as party members are in the process of filling out their mail-in ballots.
The race to lead Harper’s former party has been characterized as a battle for its very soul and at times included some personal attacks between candidates. Poilievre has been criticized by ex-Quebec premier Jean Charest, who is also a candidate in the leadership race, and others for having ideas and a tone that would make the Conservatives unable to win the next general election after three consecutive losses.The former prime minister says Poilievre not only has the strongest support within the party’s caucus of any candidate in the race, but is popular with existing members and is bringing in droves of new ones.
“Conservatives only win when we are united. Stephen Harper was successful in uniting the Conservative Party of Canada. As the leader of the CPC, I commit to doing the same,” Charest’s statement said. “This race is about the future, right now, we have a choice: lose more seats or build on our momentum across Canada to win a majority government.”
