After losing his seat in the recent election, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre aims to run in the safe Conservative riding of Battle River-Crowfoot in Alberta. MP Damien Kurek plans to resign to allow Poilievre to contest the byelection. However, Poilievre must wait at least 30 days due to regulations outlined in the Canada Elections Act regarding when MPs can resign. Once Kurek resigns, a byelection will be scheduled by the Governor General based on the advice of the Prime Minister.
