Dougald Lamont will continue as Manitoba Liberal party leader as delegates voted unanimously against having a leadership vote at the party's annual general meeting on Saturday. The party holds the leadership review vote after every provincial election, or roughly every four years. If more than 50 per cent of Liberal delegates say they want a leadership convention, a leadership race is called. Lamont became leader of the Manitoba Liberals in 2017, coming in just eight votes ahead of Tyndall Park MLA Cindy Lamoureux. Lamont was also up against longtime River Heights MLA and former Liberal leader Jon Gerrard, who threw his support behind Lamoureux after he was voted out during the first round of ballots.
