"There are some who, if they don't receive the desired outcome, will say this is a flawed process," Moore said. Otherwise you're out," she said. Ballots will be sent out to party members. Kenney enters the weekend an unpopular figure, mainly due to frustrations surrounding decisions made during the COVID-19 pandemic and his leadership style. Brian Jean, UCP MLA for Fort McMurray-Lac la Biche, has been outspoken about taking over the party. In his address to party members, Kenney offered two paths forward: division or unity.

It was supposed to be before 2022. Ballots will be mailed out this weekend to almost 60,000 party members. The board said widespread interest — with 15,000 party members expected to make the trip to cast a ballot — made the one-day in-person option impossible. “I decided something had to be done,” said Kenney. “I knew if (the NDP) got a second consecutive term they would fundamentally change this province forever. Kenney reminded them he left his job as a Conservative MP to unite feuding conservatives under the new UCP in 2017 and then defeat the NDP in the 2019 election. “If the members decide they want to have a leadership election, I will step aside,” he said.

Kenney says now is not the time to fight past battles with the next provincial election just around the corner in May 2023.

It was supposed to be before 2022. Ballots will be mailed out this weekend to almost 60,000 party members. The board said widespread interest — with 15,000 party members expected to make the trip to cast a ballot — made the one-day in-person option impossible. “I decided something had to be done,” said Kenney. “I knew if (the NDP) got a second consecutive term, they would fundamentally change this province forever. “If the members decide they want to have a leadership election, I will step aside,” he said. The speech to the party formally launched what has become a fractious, acrimonious intraparty fight to determine whether Kenney should remain in charge of the United Conservatives.
