Province’s PC Party president told members in an e-mail that the number of valid requests for a review fell short of what’s required for the party’s provincial council to vote on the matter

The president of New Brunswick’s Progressive Conservative party says a push for a leadership review of Premier Blaine Higgs has not overcome the first hurdle.

“The party has … sought legal advice to determine whether the requests are valid. Following this review, I have determined that the requirements have not been satisfied,” Hachey wrote. Party rules stipulate that for a leadership review to be held, it must be requested by at least 50 party members, including 26 riding presidents. Hachey’s e-mail says only 40 of the requests received by the party are valid and only 15 are from riding presidents.However, Hachey says those whose letters were refused will be given a chance to send in fresh requests by Aug. 19, three weeks before the Sept. 9 provincial council meeting.

“The party didn’t in their communication say why some letters may not be valid … It would be good to have more detail in the spirit of transparency for the process,” he said.
