EDMONTON, AB – It’s deadline day for those seeking to be the next leader of Alberta’s United Conservatives and most of the contestants have already filed their applications.
The cutoff is 5 p.m. for applicants to submit a package of forms and consent documents along with at least 1,000 signatures from across Alberta and at least $75,000 towards the entry fee and good behaviour deposit.
Two of the nine applicants — Travis Toews and Danielle Smith — have already had their applications formally accepted by the UCP.
Rajan Sawhney, Rebecca Schulz, Todd Loewen, Leela Aheer and Brian Jean say they have submitted their applications, while Jon Horsman took to social media yesterday to drum up more of the required signatures.
