The 2025 Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba leadership election will be held on April 26, 2025. The internal party election was called as a result of former Premier Heather Stefanson, the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba, announcing her resignation on January 15, 2024 following her loss in the 2023 Manitoba general election.

Procedure

[edit]

In order to be eligible to contest the election, a candidate had to pay an entry fee of $25,000, provide a petition for leadership signed by 50 party members, and sell new party memberships to 1000 new or recurring members. The election was held on a one member, one vote basis under a instant-runoff voting system.[1][2]
