The leadership race has been dominated by Kenney’s plan to fold up the PCs to merge with the Wildrose party.
Kenney says merging is the only way to avoid vote splitting that would guarantee Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP a win in the 2019 provincial election.
Starke and Nelson say they will follow the wishes of PC members, who last spring, rejected a merger in favour of rebuilding the party that ran Alberta for more than four decades.
