The list of candidates to replace Jason Kenney as leader of Alberta’s United Conservative Party (UCP) continues to lengthen even though eligibility rules have not yet been finalized.
Fort McMurray-Lac La Biche UCP MLA Brian Jean will launch his campaign on June 15 in Edmonton. Jean was the leader of the Opposition and the last leader of the Wildrose Party from 2015 to 2017 before it merged with the Progressive Conservatives. Prior to this, he was a Conservative MP for Fort McMurray–Athabasca from 2006 to 2014.
