OTTAWA — 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.
His campaign says that Brown plans to vote for Charest. He has encouraged supporters to make their own choice about which of the five remaining candidates would make the best leader. "It's all going to come down to how much work and his organizers want to continue to put in this race," said political strategist Chris Chapin, who previously worked in Brown's office when he was Official Opposition leader in Ontario.
A longtime organizer has since come forward as the one who made the allegation, saying Brown was involved in an arrangement that saw a private corporation pay for her work on the campaign. That means supporters could still pick Brown as their top choice and so the party is finalizing a plan to share with members about what will happen to votes that may go his way.
