Jean Charest’s campaign is trying to bolster hope among supporters that they still have a path to victory in the Conservative leadership race.
A document circulated by Charest’s team over the long weekend detailed how they believe they can win on points rather than vote totals and beat frontrunner Pierre Poilievre.
“Pierre is going to win this on the first ballot, likely with more than 50% in every province,” said one source, who knows the system, but isn’t keen on a Poilievre victory.Article content The leadership isn’t determined by who gets the most votes of the total cast, but who gets the most points from ballots cast in each of Canada 338 ridings. Each riding is worth 100 points, with candidates taking a percentage of those points based on how they performed in each riding. There are a total of 33,800 points up for grabs, and the first candidate to get more than 16,900 points wins.
