Jean Charest, the former Premier of Quebec, will be a candidate to succeed Erin O’Toole as leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.
He will make the official announcement on Thursday, two sources confirmed to Radio-Canada.
Earlier Monday, he won the endorsement of columnist Tasha Kheiriddin, who will not be running.
Kheiriddin was one of the anticipated candidates for the Conservative leadership race, but after careful consideration and discussions with Charest, she said he is best placed to advance their shared vision for the party.
