Conservative Party MPs have chosen to remove Erin O’Toole as leader today after caucus deliberations, with a reported 73 out of 118 MPs voting against him. The party will next decide on who will serve as the interim leader. New Brunswick MP John Williamson said he is running as a candidate for the position. “I am running to be interim Leader of our Conservative Party,” he wrote on Twitter on Feb. 2. “I will respect my caucus colleagues. I will listen to our movement. I know how to keep us united around the things that matter most to us as Conservatives.” The Conservative caucus had spent the morning deliberating on O’Toole’s future, where the Tory leader reportedly apologized and made a plea to be given a second chance.
