Ontario Liberals to reveal leadership vote results amid push from some for new race
- Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie committed to staying on after party delegates narrowly voted against holding a new leadership race during the weekend gathering in Toronto.
- This followed voting over the weekend where 57 per cent of delegates opposed holding a new leadership race despite calls from some to step down.
- Crombie acknowledged the result was "not the number she wanted" and said "it's not the finish line" as the party regained official status but she lost her own seat.
- The Liberal constitution requires support of just over 50 per cent for Crombie to continue, though a faction wanted at least two-thirds to keep her.
- The outcome suggests Crombie will stay on despite some internal doubts about her ability to lead the party back to government.
