Poilievre to face leadership review in January

Canada's main opposition leader Pierre Poilievre is facing a leadership challenge. Conservative party members are set to vote in January to decide whether he should remain party leader.

The party's National Council reportedly decided to hold a leadership review vote at a meeting on Saturday, to be held in Calgary.

Some Conservative party members have reportedly suggested a vote in March, but Poilievre wanted it to happen sooner. No date has been set for the vote, but the party aims to hold it in the last week of January.

Poilievre was elected Conservative Party leader in September 2022. He lost his seat in the federal election in April and the leadership review is taking place as Poilievre is expected to run in Alberta's Battle River-Crowfoot riding.
