The Progressive Conservative Party of Prince Edward Island, Canada selected a new leader on February 28, 2015,[2] to replace Olive Crane who resigned on January 31, 2013.[3] The Progressive Conservatives have been the Official Opposition in the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island since June 12, 2007, having lost the 2007 and 2011 provincial elections to the Liberals. The interim leader was Steven Myers.[3]
The party used a preferential ballot for its leadership convention for the first time. Voting also occurred at satellite voting sites in Bloomfield, Summerside, Souris and Montague.[4]
The election was won by former Charlottetown City Councillor Rob Lantz[5] on the second ballot. The party executive decided prior to voting not to release vote totals in the interests of party unity; however it was later reported that Compton was eliminated after the first ballot and that Lantz then narrowly defeated Aylward on the second ballot.[1]
