OTTAWA-
Elizabeth May is running on a joint ticket to take over the leadership of the Green Party, sources say.
The former party leader is expected to launch a joint leadership bid on Wednesday in Sidney, B.C., with her running mate, Jonathan Pedneault.
They are two of the six candidates authorized by the party to run, according to two Green Party sources with direct knowledge of the situation who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about it publicly.
Sarah Gabrielle Baron, who ran as an independent against former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole in Durham, Ont., in last year’s election, and Simon Gnocchini-Messier, a federal public servant who ran for the Greens in Hull-Aylmer, Quebec. , will also work.
Anna Keenan and Chad Walcott are also expected to join the race on another joint ticket.
The winner, to be announced by November, will succeed interim leader Amita Kuttner, who stepped in after Annamie Paul resigned last year.
