Liberal party leadership in Manitoba a bizarre debacle
The Liberals faced an organizational fiasco in choosing a new leader. Paul Edwards won with 1087 votes to 851 for Kevin Lamoureux amid a low turnout of about 106 mailed ballots, 82 advance ballots, and only 311 attending four conventions. The process used mailed ballots to 57 ridings and four mini-conventions, delaying results by four hours, while Sharon Carstairs received a raucous gala reception with under 600 attendees and national Liberal Jean Chretien present.
