MP Albas supports Poilievre’s leadership bid

The man who many expect to be the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada has officially put his name forward.

Taking to social media on Saturday, Tory MP Pierre Poilievre announced that he would be seeking the leadership of the party. Poilievre was expected to run for the leadership in 2020, but dropped out of the race before it began.

Poilievre is the first MP to put their name forward for the position vacated by Erin O’Toole last week.

Following his announcement, Local MP Dan Albas took to twitter to support Poilievre’s bid for leadership.

We are in a critical time for our country so I am happy to hear that @PierrePoilievre is running to be our Prime Minister. He is hard working, smart and a superb communicator. I am proud to be supporting his candidacy for leader of the @CPC_HQ!
