Mark Hudson was one of six board members who departed the UCP Livingstone-MacLeod constituency association earlier this month. In a statement to media Wednesday morning, Hudson said he left because of personal attacks and bullying by UCP board members over his co-operation with an investigation into Jeff Callaway’s short-lived 2017 leadership campaign. From left: Brian Jean, Jason Kenney and Jeff Callaway ran as candidates for leadership of the United Conservative Party in 2017. “The only campaign I ran was our unity campaign,” Kenney said Wednesday at an unrelated press conference, responding to reporter questions about Callaway’s campaign. Kenney downplayed the departures, suggesting the disgruntled members left after their preferred candidate lost the recent nomination race to Roger Reid.
