Patrick Brown's campaign says there's a “strong likelihood” Brown's efforts to challenge the federal Conservatives' decision to disqualify him from the leadership race won't succeed and that he will vote for Jean Charest to lead the party.
Tuesday evening, the campaign team shared a statement with media it planned to send to supporters after a call the previous night Brown had with more than 100 organizers and others helping his bid.
Brown's campaign says he also considers Leslyn Lewis “a friend” and applauded Scott Aitchison for policy positions on fighting a controversial secularism law in Quebec, which Brown also opposes.“We will succeed eventually.” In a statement circulated by Charest's campaign, Reynolds said the ex-Quebec premier was the best choice to unite the party when its divisions within caucus and the broader movement are on full display.
Since his disqualification, Brown has stated his team did nothing wrong and accused the party of refusing to provide the full details of the incident when first asked to provide an explanation. He has also hired high-profile lawyer Marie Henein to seek an appeal.
