Conservative MPs will vote today on whether to keep Erin O’Toole as their leader or plunge the party into another leadership race only 18 months after they finished the last one.
MPs opposed to O’Toole’s leadership have collected enough signatures to prompt today’s secret ballot on his future. That vote is expected to take place sometime before noon ET.
A vote by 50 per cent plus one of the 119 sitting Conservative MPs calling on O’Toole to step down would force him to make way for an interim leader immediately.
Sources tell CBC News that O’Toole’s caucus opponents believe they have the necessary votes, with at least 60 MPs agreeing that he has to go.
I hear we should know by noon, but I suspect it will be later. The Sun is live blogging.
