Manitoba PCs choose interim leader after Khan’s sudden resignation
Manitoba’s Progressive Conservatives have chosen Konrad Narth as their interim party leader after the sudden resignation of Obby Khan.
Manitoba's Progressive Conservatives have selected Konrad Narth as their interim party leader following the sudden resignation of Obby Khan. Narth, representing LaVerendrye, assumed the role after Khan announced his departure from caucus and intends to serve as an independent MLA. Despite winning a confidence vote on Friday, Khan expressed concerns about members of his own caucus plotting to remove him.
He named Kathleen Cook (Roblin), Richard Perchotte (Selkirk), Lauren Stone (Midland) and Jodie Byram (Agassiz) as individuals who were allegedly involved in a secret meeting to undermine Friday's confidence vote. Khan accused certain colleagues of lacking moral integrity. At present, the Progressive Conservatives have not announced any plans for a formal leadership race.
Konrad Narth will assume the interim leadership position until the party holds a formal leadership election.
