Maxime Bernier appears to eye Manitoba byelection in bid to return as MP
appears set to announce his candidacy in an coming byelection for a federal seat in Manitoba.
A news release says Bernier, a former cabinet minister who quit the Conservative caucus in 2018 to found the party, will make an important announcement about the byelection in the Portage-Lisgar riding on Friday., who served as interim Conservative leader last year, stepping down in February. Bernier has previously said he was considering running for the seat, in part because it is in a rural area with a large francophone community.
The People’s Party of Canada candidate in the 2021 election lost to Bergen but nonetheless gained 22 per cent of the vote.Bernier would not confirm his prospective run in an interview, but said he wants to become an MP again — and people in Portage will be in a position to make history.“I can tell you that I believe that people in Portage, or in these other ridings where there is a byelection, they will have an opportunity to make history,” he said.
