Three candidates have been approved to run for leadership of the Wildrose, with the first debate set for this evening in Red Deer.
The candidates are Cypress-Medicine Hat MLA Drew Barnes, former Strathcona County Mayor Linda Osinchuk, and former Fort McMurray-Athabasca MP Brian Jean.
Wildrose Party President Jeff Callaway says he’s pleased with the calibre of the candidates running.
The phone-in election will get underway next Monday, with the new Wildrose Party leader to be announced the same day the polls close on March 28.
