A court challenge against Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson’s historic victory is moving ahead.
Stefanson won the top political job in the western Canadian province last month by defeating rival Shelly Glover in the Progressive Conservative Party’s leadership race by 363 votes. Glover filed a court challenge saying there were “substantial irregularities” in the party election and is seeking to have a judge declare the win invalid and order a new vote.
