Poilievre’s Commanding 87.4% Leadership Endorsement Signals Firm Control of Conservative Party

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre delivers his keynote address at the party’s national convention in Calgary on Friday.

Pierre Poilievre has secured an overwhelming 87.4% support in the Conservative Party’s leadership review, reinforcing his dominant position within the party and signaling strong internal confidence in his direction.

The review, held during the party’s national convention, served as a key test of Poilievre’s standing following the most recent federal election. Despite the setback of losing both the national vote and his own seat, he has remained a central figure in Conservative politics, returning to Parliament and maintaining significant influence among party members.

In his address to delegates ahead of the vote, Poilievre emphasized unity, discipline, and a renewed focus on economic and social priorities. The strong endorsement suggests that party members remain aligned with his vision and strategy for the future.

With nearly all eligible delegates casting ballots, the result provides Poilievre with a reinforced mandate as he prepares to guide the party into its next phase — one that will likely focus on rebuilding momentum and sharpening its message ahead of the next election cycle.
