(Camrose) The conservative chief Pierre Hairy won the by -election in the rural district of Battle River – Crowfoot, Alberta, plans the Canadian press.
Pierre Poilievre led by around 5,500 votes when almost 20 % of the polling stations had published their results just over an hour after the election of the ballot.
This means that he obtained a seat in the House of Commons.
The constituency, which covers a rural region of Alberta, has no longer had a federal deputy since the resignation of the curator Damien Kurek. The latter resigned to give the leader to his party, Pierre Hairyvre, to introduce himself.
Mr. Poilievre had been defeated in his district of the Ottawa region during the general elections last spring by Liberal Bruce Fanjoy.
A record number of 214 names appeared on the ballot, most of them belonging to a protest movement called the “longest ballot committee”, which militates in favor of an electoral reform to replace the majority UNINOMINAL SYSTEM.
