Longtime Tory MP Gallant fends off challenge in her riding
OTTAWA — Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant has survived a nomination challenge in her Ottawa-area riding.
Gallant was one of several incumbent Tories who are facing a fight for the right to carry the party’s banner in the 2019 election.
Her challenger, Mike Coates, most recently ran celebrity businessman Kevin O’Leary’s failed campaign for leadership of the party.
The party did not release the results of the vote.
